Luke Weaver Joins Mets on 2-Year, $22M Deal After Strong Yankees Stint

Luke Weaver has agreed to a two-year, $22 million contract with the New York Mets, pending a physical. The 32-year-old right-hander joins the Mets after two successful seasons as a reliever with the Yankees. In 2024, he posted a 2.89 ERA with 103 strikeouts in 84 innings, serving as their closer. In 2025, he made a career-high 64 relief appearances with a 3.62 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 64 2/3 innings, despite a hamstring strain. Weaver's elite advanced metrics and effective fastball-changeup mix are expected to bolster the Mets' bullpen, setting up for Devin Williams.
