Yankees Exercise 2025 Option for Luke Weaver Just two days after their World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Yankees have secured an integral part of their bullpen...
Club option picked up The Yankees exercised Weaver's $2.5 million club option for 2025 on Friday.
Impact In his first full season with the Yankees, Weaver turned in a 2.89 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 84 innings -- a stark contrast from the 5.85 ERA and 1.51 WHIP he had accumulated over the previous four years. The Yankees will gladly keep him around for relatively cheap, and there's a chance he begins 2025 as New York's closer after moving into the role toward the end of the season.

Luke Weaver's 2025 option exercised by New York Yankees for $2.5 million

Gets tough blown save Weaver was saddled with a blown save Wednesday against the Dodgers, letting two inherited runners score while permitting one hit and one walk over 1.1 frames.
Impact Weaver was put into an impossible situation, taking over for Tommy Kahnle in the top of the eighth inning after Kahnle had loaded the bases with no one out. He didn't permit a hit or a walk in the frame, but a pair of sac flies turned a one-run Yankees lead to a one-run deficit. Weaver returned for the ninth inning and was pulled with one out and two runners on before Mark Leiter came on to escape the jam. The Yankees have a $2.5 million club option on Weaver for 2025, which they will undoubtedly pick up. He could open next season as the club's closer after finishing this season in the role.
