Weaver Traded From Mets To Pirates

The Mets have traded relief pitcher Luke Weaver to the Pirates before the trade deadline, as confirmed by MLB Network.

Luke Weaver, an 11-year veteran right-hander, is heading to Pittsburgh after being dealt by the Mets. The 32-year-old is having a career-best season with a 1.84 ERA through 44 innings, making him one of the most appealing relievers available on the trade market. Weaver signed a two-year, $22 million deal with New York this offseason and is owed $12.5 million in 2027. He'll join a Pirates bullpen that has struggled with a 4.34 ERA this season. xsportfeed.quest
