Ryan McMahon, who had spent his entire nine-year career with the Colorado Rockies, was acquired by the New York Yankees in a trade Friday.
The New York Yankees have a reinforcement on the way ahead of their postseason push.
The team acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for minor league pitchers Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz, the teams announced Friday.
McMahon, 30, will fill a gaping hole the Yankees have had all season at third base. The Yankees have gotten a .645 OPS from their third basemen this season, the eighth worst at the position in the big leagues.
McMahon has just a .217 batting average with 16 home runs this year, but his .717 OPS is an upgrade over what Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas have provided.
