The New York Yankees are buying third baseman Ryan McMahon in a commerce with the Colorado Rockies, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday.
The Yankees are sending two minor league pitchers, left-hander Griffin Herring and right-hander Josh Grosz, to the Rockies in return, a supply mentioned.
The deal fills a number of wants for the Yankees, who had been looking for a left-handed bat and a substitute for Oswald Peraza (.147 batting common) at third base.
The 30-year-old McMahon, who hit house runs within the first two video games after the All-Star break and one other on Tuesday, is on tempo to maintain his four-year 20-homer streak alive. He boasts above common energy and persistence and is without doubt one of the greatest defensive third basemen within the sport, however he has a extra middling contact fee and baserunning worth.
Having performed for the Rockies since getting into the majors in 2017, McMahon, who earned his first All-Star choice in 2024, has two years and $32 million remaining on his contract after this season.
