Ryan Weathers, the brand new Yankees left-hander acquired from the Marlins for 4 minor leaguers Tuesday, has one factor a number of scouts agree on: “untapped potential.”
A pair of scouts used the time period for Weathers on Wednesday, a day earlier than the Yankees will introduce the 26-year-old.
“I just like the gamble,’’ one American League scout mentioned of the hard-throwing lefty, whose profession has been sidetracked by accidents. “I believe the Yankees are a great place for him. They’ll use him other ways. Simply should preserve him wholesome.”
And that’s maybe probably the most vital downside to the acquisition, as Weathers has hit the injured record on a number of events — together with twice final 12 months with the Marlins.
