The Miami Marlins are reportedly regretting their offseason trade with the New York Yankees that sent pitcher Ryan Weathers away. Weathers has excelled in his new role, posting a 2.81 ERA and 18 strikeouts over three starts in the 2026 season. In exchange for Weathers, the Marlins acquired four prospects: Dylan Jasson, Brendan Jones, Dillon Lewis, and Juan Matheus, none of whom have yet made it to the Major Leagues. This trade has sparked criticism as the Marlins, who are seen as a team on the rise, could have benefited from Weathers' contributions to their rotation. Meanwhile, the prospects have not yet provided the immediate impact that the Marlins hoped for, leading to speculation about the long-term implications of this decision.
