Ryan Weathers

The son of former big leaguer David Weathers, Ryan was drafted seventh overall by the Padres in 2018. His time in San Diego came to an unceremonious end at the deadline last year when the team traded him to Miami essentially for two months of Garrett Cooper. The results only worsened after the trade as Weathers struggled to a 7.62 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in three appearances (two starts) with the Marlins. He brings decent velocity to the table for a starter, and Statcast suggests the lefty deserved significantly better results on his four-seamer last season (.340 BA, .232 xBA). Weathers still has a minor-league option remaining and would likely be best suited serving as depth at Triple-A, but injuries could force him into the Marlins' rotation to start the year. He will remain a tough sell in mixed leagues until he shows some sort of consistency at the big-league level. Read Past Outlooks
