Luke Weaver, who left the Yankees to sign with the Mets, has excelled in the bullpen, not allowing an earned run since May 1. The struggling Mets are expected to become sellers before the trade deadline, potentially making Weaver available. Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay suggested that New York may explore the option of reacquiring Weaver, who is seen as a valuable asset for teams needing bullpen support. With the Yankees missing key players, including Weaver, this potential reunion could address their roster needs. The situation reflects the contrasting standings of both teams this season.
