We've been told for a while now that if the New York Yankees were going to land a starter to bolster the rotation, it would be via trade. We just thought it would be someone more notable than ... Ryan Weathers. And it could still be! But it's getting late early out there.
The trade for the former Miami Marlins southpaw caught most off guard. Weathers is just 26 years old and comes with a first-round pedigree, but despite those positives he's yet to reach the 100-inning plateau in a single season even though he's pitched in parts of five big league campaigns up to this point.
