The New York Yankees<\/a> are acquiring Colorado Rockies<\/a> third baseman Ryan McMahon<\/a> for two pitching prospects, lefty Griffin Herring and righty Josh Grosz, according to the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McMahon, 30, was viewed as one of the top available positional players on the market. He entered Friday hitting .217\/.314\/.403 (92 OPS+) with 16 home runs in 100 games. His contributions have been worth an estimated 1.4 Wins Above Replacement, per the calculations housed at Baseball Reference. He’s been a steady offensive performer, posting an OPS+ between 90 and 100 in four years and counting, though this represents his worst output since the COVID-shortened 2020 season.<\/p>\n

McMahon is due the remainder of his $12 million salary this season. He’s then owed $16 million in each of the next two seasons. In other words, he’s more of a long-term fit than some of the other options available on the market, including Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Su\u00e1rez, an impending free agent.<\/p>\n

The Yankees have had a need for a third baseman since releasing DJ LeMahieu<\/a> and moving Jazz Chisholm<\/a> back to the keystone. As of late, manager Aaron Boone has used a combination of Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas at the hot corner. Clearly New York, now 4 \u00bd games back in the American League East, was not satisfied with that arrangement.<\/p>\n

Herring, 22, was a sixth-round pick last summer. He’s split the season between Low- and High-A, tallying a 1.71 ERA and a 2.83 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 16 total starts. MLB Pipeline<\/a> recently ranked him as the eighth-best prospect in New York’s system.<\/p>\n

Grosz, 22, is a former 11th-round pick who has compiled a 4.14 ERA and a 2.69 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 16 High-A appearances. Grosz was ranked by MLB Pipeline<\/a> as the 21st-best prospect in the Yankees farm system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagn Images The New York Yankees are acquiring Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon for two pitching prospects,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":92135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,1283,1266,405,403,2228,5226,5225,5228,5227,32076,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-92134","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-colorado-rockies","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-new-york-yankees","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-ryan-mcmahon","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114915465422224679","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
