Yankees Acquire 2024 All-Star Ryan McMahon to Fill Void at Third Base

McMahon, 30, spent his entire nine-year MLB career with the Colorado Rockies and hit at least 20 home runs in each of the past four seasons.

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.
