Luke Weaver finalized his deal with the Mets on Monday, officially marking the end of his time with the Yankees.
The right-hander enjoyed a strong two-plus seasons in pinstripes.
Weaver came in as a journeyman starter looking for a new home off waivers, and the organization helped turn him into one of the more reliable setup men in baseball.

He quickly became a fan favorite for his electric personality both on and off the field.
He finished with a 3.22 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 12 saves, and 191 strikeouts over 129 appearances as a Yankee.
Weaver tipped his cap to the Bronx faithful one last time before starting his new journey on the other side of town.
“My career coming to what felt like an end. Overwhelmed with injuries and failure… it seemed destined that the new chapter of my life was within reach. But did the Lord have other plans for me,” he wrote on Instagram. “Yankees fans and those that showed me your love/support… thank you from the bottom of my heart.
“What a ride it was and a rejuvenation I longed for. Another chapter begins for me but the memories are forever. Grateful and humbled. To God be the Glory.”
