Yankees acquire Ryan McMahon
Digest more
They got just that when they made a move for Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon Friday afternoon. In return, the Rockies received two of the Yankees' pitching prospects: Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz.
The McMahon trade was a smart way to support the Yankees' pitching. It will likely help their investment in $218 million man Max Fried, who leads the league in groundballs and has had 15 errors committed behind him this year. The infield defense needed tightening. But that won't matter if the bullpen keeps handing games away.
The New York Yankees pulled themselves out of the running for Eugenio Suárez, and now Jon Heyman believes the Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners are the leaders.
