Report: Former Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Signs With New York Mets

Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Luke Weaver has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Mets for $22 million, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.

Weaver, 32, started 21 games for the Reds in 2023 and went 2-4 with a 6.87 ERA. After the Reds released him, he appeared in five games with the Seattle Mariners and three games with the New York Yankees.

In 2024, Weaver turned his career around as a reliever in New York. The veteran appeared in 62 games and had an ERA of 2.89. He followed that up with another strong season out of New York's bullpen in 2025.

Weaver was drafted in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals out of Florida State University. The right-hander made his MLB debut as a 22-year-old on August 13, 2016. He gave up two runs on four hits in four innings against the Chicago Cubs.

When you see Weaver gets $22 million, it makes you feel even better about the Reds getting Pagan to come back on a two-year, $20 million deal.
