The Yankees are acquiring starter Ryan Weathers from the Marlins for four prospects, reports Jack Curry of The Yes Network. According to Craig Mish of SportsGrid, Miami adds minor league hitters Dillon Lewis, Brendan Jones, Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus.
It’s the second significant rotation move in as many weeks for Miami. The Fish swapped Edward Cabrera to the Cubs for a package led by rookie outfielder Owen Caissie on Wednesday. It’s surprising to see them pull the trigger on another deal to subtract a controllable starter. Cabrera and Weathers have each had trouble staying healthy, and Miami evidently preferred to stockpile position player talent over the pair of talented but risky starters.
More to come.
