Atlanta Braves at New York Mets

Luke Weaver has been traded twice in his career, once at the Deadline. He has been designated for assignment multiple times, released once. He has played for seven different teams and gone through free agency on more than one occasion. Players throughout baseball so frequently refer to the sport as “a business” that the phrase has become cliché. But Weaver? He’s lived it. So Weaver, who pitched a scoreless eighth in the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Braves during Game 1 of a doubleheader on Wednesday, is not disturbed by the trade rumors surrounding him. He understands there’s a reasonable chance he’ll be pitching elsewhere by this time next week. He also knows he might stay. * Scott turns in gem, but Mets can't solve Sale in nightcap “It was certainly a lot harder in the past,” Weaver said of navigating that ambiguity. “Unfortunately and fortunately, I’ve had a lot of experience through different waves of these circumstances … so I think that gives me peace. My wife and I understand this game, and we’re mentally prepared, to an extent. But we’re also not by any means one foot out the door.”
