In what could be the first of several transactions prior to the MLB trade deadline, the New York Yankees acquired All-Star third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies on July 25.
McMahon, 30, will head to the Bronx in exchange for a pair of minor league pitchers: Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz. He fills a huge need for New York, which had a glaring hole at the hot corner all season. The Yankees were using All-Star Jazz Chisholm at the position earlier in the year but recently moved him to his natural position of second base.
