The New York Yankees have found their new third baseman. The team acquired Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies on Friday in a trade, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported. In return, the Rockies received two of the Yankees' pitching prospects, Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz, MLB's Mark Feinsand later reported.
This trade comes as a bit of a surprise as the Yankees appeared to be the frontrunner for acquiring Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez. Instead, McMahon will fill the gap at third base that the Yankees were desperate to plug.
