2/24/25	Yankees' Luke Weaver reveals secret of his magic fastball. Yankees reliever Luke Weaver pitched to a career-best 2.89 ERA over 62 outings during his breakout 2024 season. AP By Bob Klapisch \| For NJ Advance Media TAMPA, Fla. — Cody Bellinger knew not to take a batting practice session too seriously, certainly not this early in spring training. But standing in the batter's box against Luke Weaver this weekend, he couldn't help but admire the fastballs that looked like they'd been fired out of a rocket launcher.

2/11/25	Yankees' Luke Weaver gets real on facing Juan Soto with Mets in 2025. Luke Weaver emerged on the scene for the New York Yankees in the 2024 season, and he will be a big part of the bullpen in 2025. A big part of the Yankees' success in 2024 was Juan Soto, who bolted for the New York Mets in free agency this offseason, and Weaver spoke on what it will be like to face Soto this coming season as he reported for Spring Training in Tampa Bay.

12/13/24	Yankees acquire All-Star closer from Brewers in blockbuster trade. The New York Yankees are reinforcing the back end of the bullpen in a major way.

12/11/24	Yankees' Aaron Boone gushes over projected $56 million free-agent closer. Luke Weaver ended the 2024 season having deposed Clay Holmes as the New York Yankees; closer.

12/01/24	Yankees could land Brewers' $8 million closer in trade this offseason. The New York Yankees are in the market to add some high-end arms to the bullpen this offseason, and one option could be available via trade. While Luke Weaver, who finished the 2024 season as the team's closer, will return, the majority of big names from the bullpen are currently free agents. One buy-low option that might be available for Brian Cashman and the front office is Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams, who is coming off a bit of a down season due to injuries. According to ESPN's David Schoenfield, the Yankees are among the teams who could trade for Williams this offseason. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/new-york-yanke...
11/30/24	Yankees could replace Luke Weaver with $70 million Brewers star. The Milwaukee Brewers won the National League Central in 2024 but failed to succeed in the postseason. While listing teams that could trade for Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams, FanSided's Eric Treuden noted that the New York Yankees could swing a blockbuster trade for him. "Journeyman Luke Weaver became the Yankees' closer in the postseason and could conceivably take that role back come 2025, but he may be better suited as a multi-inning role-player that can bounce around between assignments in the bullpen."

11/19/24	Cardinals, Yankees trade proposal ships $81 million All-Star to NY for Luis Gil. The St. Louis Cardinals missed the postseason in 2024. "While Luke Weaver emerged as an important bullpen piece for the Yankees last year, losing Holmes, Hill, Kahnle, Trivino, and Loaisiga all at once will have a major impact on their relief core," wrote Jacobs.

11/15/24	Yankees predicted to land projected $54 million All-Star closer. The New York Yankees enter the offseason with several needs to address, which includes adding to the back end of the bullpen. While the Yankees got some incredible run out of Luke Weaver during the season as he ended the 2024 campaign as the closer, it wouldn't be a surprise to see New York in the market to add a more solidified arm in that role. Weaver could return as the team's closer next season after what he showed during his short time in that role, but there are also some big names available in free agency. One of them includes former San Diego Padres lefty Tanner Scott, who was an option for the Yankees at the trade deadline when he was with the Miami Marlins.

11/15/24	Yankees could upgrade bullpen with trade for this former closer. Other than closer Luke Weaver, the back of the Yankees' bullpen could look completely different next season. Every other high-leverage reliever that Yankees manager Aaron Boone leaned on most in the postseason is a free agent this winter. Former closer Clay Holmes will be seeking a multi-year deal, left-hander Tim Hill has earned guaranteed money after his impressive second half in pinstripes and veteran Tommy Kahnle quietly had a tremendous year in 2024.

11/14/24	Yankees journeyman who salvaged his career wants extension: 'This is a place I want to be'. Luke Weaver became the New York Yankees' closer late in the 2024 season. AP By Jimmy Hascup \| NJ Advance Media for NJ.com In picking up Luke Weaver's option for $2.5 million, the New York Yankees made their easiest decision of the offseason. Now, their closer hopes the marriage lasts much longer than that. In a way, the Yankees helped salvage Weaver's career, which is to take nothing away from the work the 31-year-old right-hander put in to overcome his struggles — embracing relief and altering his pitch mix to become a dominant late-inning option. Weaver doesn't take what he achieved in 2024 lightly, and he is not necessarily interested in exploring the market next offseason. He wants to stay Source: https://www.nj.com/sports/2024/11/yankees-journeym...
11/08/24	New York Yankees showing interest in projected $33 million free agent closer. The New York Yankees have several pieces of the bullpen to address as the offseason begins, and they reportedly have their eyes on a hard-throwing righty. While the Yankees picked up Luke Weaver's $2.5 million option for the 2025 season, several key pieces are slated to hit free agency — Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle and Tim Hill among them. It's no surprise the Yankees will be looking hard in free agency to find some new arms, and Philadelphia Phillies closer Carlos Estevez is among the players New York has shown interest in, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

11/06/24	Sargeant's Orders: The moves the New York Yankees should be making this offseason . After 15 years, the New York Yankees finally made it back to the Fall Classic, pitted against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a series many fans were looking forward to. With over $90 million set to come off the books due to free agents, not including player or club options, according to Spotrac, we will explore key players Brian Cashman should bust out the paycheck to keep and candidates to replace those the front office should let walk. The Yankees made possibly the easiest decision ever last Friday, picking up Luke Weaver's $2.5 million club option, as he is one of the most effective relievers in the sport. Gerrit Cole and the Yankees agreed to a four-year, $144 million deal after the ace initially opted out of his player option, seeking either a new deal or an additional year tacked on.

11/03/24	Yankees start offseason with unsurprising bullpen move. The Yankees could make a few unexpected moves this winter, acquisitions designed to improve their roster for 2025. The Yankees exercised their club option for reliever Luke Weaver. Not only are the Yankees bringing their closer back after a breakout season and a gutsy postseason run, but the cost to do so is a bargain. If he ended up in the Yankees' rotation he could've made more money, but transitioning into the bullpen kept him from reaching certain benchmarks in innings and games started.
