Overview

  • New York sent pitching prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz to Colorado to finalize the July 25 deadline acquisition of McMahon.
  • Ryan McMahon, a 2024 All-Star, offers a left-handed power bat, plus elite defense and two years of team control under his contract.
  • The Yankees had cycled through Oswald Peraza, Jorbit Vivas and released DJ LeMahieu after ranking among MLB’s lowest third-base OPS marks.
  • Colorado, long out of playoff contention, secured two mid-system arms—its No. 8 and No. 21 prospects—to replenish organizational pitching depth.
  • The addition arrives with New York 4.5 games behind in the AL East as it seeks to arrest its slide and solidify a playoff roster.
