In a breaking development just ahead of the MLB trade deadline, the New York Yankees have acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. The Rockies will receive two prospects in return.
Breaking: The Yankees are acquiring 3B Ryan McMahon from the Rockies, per source. Colorado will receive two prospects in return.
McMahon, a 30-year-old infielder, brings a solid glove and left-handed power bat to the Bronx. This season, he’s slashed a respectable line while playing Gold Glove-caliber defense at the hot corner, something the Yankees have desperately needed after an inconsistent showing from their infield.
This acquisition signals a clear shift in strategy for the Yankees, who had reportedly been aggressively pursuing Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star Eugenio Suárez in recent days. With McMahon now in pinstripes, it all but confirms that New York is officially out on Suárez — removing one of the top third base targets from their radar.
McMahon’s contract, which runs through the 2027 season, also suggests the Yankees were seeking long-term stability at third base rather than a rental. It’s a notable move for a franchise that has struggled with infield consistency and offensive production in recent years.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman has faced immense pressure to deliver upgrades as the team battles to stay competitive in the AL East. By landing McMahon, the Yankees may have made one of their most impactful midseason trades in recent memory — though the success of this deal will ultimately depend on McMahon’s transition to the Bronx and the performance of the prospects heading to Colorado.
The Rockies will receive pitching prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz from the Yankees for McMahon, per source.
