  • Fans and media accounts poked fun at the moment, including Michael Baron’s quip, “Oh we gotta do something about the bag son.”
  • Weaver pitched for the Yankees in 2025, recording a 3.62 ERA with eight saves over 64 appearances after a 2.89 ERA the previous year.
  • He has expressed appreciation for his Yankees tenure and indicated there is no bad blood with the organization.
  • This is his seventh MLB stop, and the Mets will get an early look at their revamped relief group as pitchers and catchers report Wednesday.
