"Boone conceded that the club would get 'creative' with the closer role in for the time being, signaling a shift in the Yankees' bullpen strategy this season."
"Luke Weaver emerges as one of their more promising candidates. Boone has relied on Weaver more than any other pitcher to build the bridge to Holmes in the ninth."
"Weaver has appeared in 56 games with a 3.33 ERA over 73 innings. His 27.1% strikeout rate is well above average among the Yankees' relief corps."
"His true three-pitch mix of a fastball, changeup, and cutter gives him more variety than other pitchers, positioning him as a viable closer option."
