There's a certain belief that the New York Yankees move to grab Ryan Weathers from the Miami Marlins was all in service of setting up the club to make an even bigger trade. While that could certainly wind up being the case, it's not a guarantee.
To play devil's advocate to that argument, we really don't know how the Yankees envision using Weathers in 2026. What we do know is that he has some pretty enticing stuff that they're hoping to unlock, but the manner in which they plan to do that and what his eventual role will be is to be determined.
