The Rockies reacted with emotion to the news that third baseman Ryan McMahon was traded to the New York Yankees prior to their series opener against the Orioles on Friday. The nine-year veteran was dealt for pitching prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz.
“The New York Yankees are acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Colorado Rockies, sources confirm to ESPN,” Passan began. “The deal, which is in its final stages, gives the Yankees the left-handed bat they were seeking and fills the gaping hole they had at third base.”
The New York Yankees have a backup plan if they are not able to trade for Eugenio Suárez over the trade deadline.
