Pirates Acquire Mets Relief Weaver

The Pirates have acquired Mets relief ace Luke Weaver, an 11-year veteran who is enjoying his best season with a 1.84 ERA through 44 innings. The 32-year-old right-hander was one of the more appealing trade targets on the market before the deadline. h-doctor.club

Weaver signed a two-year, $22 million deal with New York this past offseason and is owed $12.5 million in 2027. He will join the Pirates' underwhelming bullpen, which has a 4.34 ERA as a unit, providing a much-needed boost to their relief corps.
