After years of speculation and nothing materializing, the New York Yankees have at last acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies, per the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.
Pitching prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz are headed to the Mile High City in return. They were the number eight and 21st-ranked prospects in the Yankees’ farm system, per MLB.com.
Given the Yankees’ struggles at the third-base position over the last few years, bringing in a guy who was an All-Star in 2024 and will be much more reliable is a win.
Former MLB player and current analyst Cameron Maybin certainly believes that, as he was pushing the McMahon-to-New York narrative over the last week and feels it could be a great fit for both sides.
“The third baseman they need plays in Colorado…I’m telling you! Defensively more than adequate and Taylor made for the ballpark offensively,” Maybin wrote on social media.
