The New York Yankees have bolstered their pitching staff by re-signing right-hander Paul Blackburn to a one-year contract and acquiring Ryan Weathers from the Miami Marlins in a trade. These moves come as the team addresses injuries to key starters ahead of the 2026 season. Blackburn returns after a late-2025 stint with New York, while Weathers follows in his father's footsteps from the 1996 World Series champions.
The New York Yankees have named Mario Garza, a longtime member of their organization, as their new director of international scouting. The 44-year-old replaces Donny Rowland, whose contract expired in November without renewal. Garza enters his 16th season with the club, bringing extensive experience in player development and coaching.

The New York Yankees claimed infielder/outfielder Marco Luciano off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on January 22, 2026. The 24-year-old former top prospect of the San Francisco Giants brings electric bat speed and right-handed power to the team. This move fills the Yankees' 40-man roster amid other impending transactions.
