The New York Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for pitching prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz. McMahon, 30, joins the Yankees for the remainder of his contract, totaling approximately $36.2 million over the next two seasons. While his offensive production is debated due to his home/road splits playing in Coors Field, his strong defensive skills at third base are undeniable, making him an upgrade over the Yankees' current options. The Rockies, with a dismal 26-76 record, are clearly rebuilding, trading McMahon to acquire pitching prospects and potentially making further trades before the deadline.
