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.
