Overview

• Colorado receives LHP Griffin Herring and RHP Josh Grosz, both 22, to accelerate its rebuild after committing to a roster selloff.
• The Yankees take on roughly $4.2 million for the rest of 2025 and $32 million over 2026–27 to shore up third base without sacrificing top‐tier prospects.
• McMahon is a three-time Gold Glove finalist whose career road slash line (.216/.302/.362) highlights offensive challenges outside Coors Field.
• Herring boasts a 1.71 ERA with 102 strikeouts in 89⅓ innings across Low-A and High-A, while Grosz has logged 208⅔ innings at a 3.97 ERA and features mid-90s heat.
• The trade signals New York’s reliance on cost-controlled internal upgrades over marquee free agents and underscores Colorado’s commitment to youth development.
