Luke Weaver Signs 2-Year Deal with Mets After Yankees Departure

Right-hander Luke Weaver has signed a two-year pact with the New York Mets, moving across town after his contract with the Yankees expired. Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed satisfaction for Weaver, noting he "earned" his new deal. Weaver transitioned from a journeyman starter to a reliable setup man for the Yankees, posting a 2.82 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 103 strikeouts over 84.0 innings in his first full season. Despite a hamstring injury and playoff struggles last year, he finished his Yankees tenure with a 3.22 ERA and 12 saves across 129 appearances. He is expected to set up for Devin Williams with the Mets.
