“One NL West personnel executive with a lot of exposure to McMahon said, ‘He’s a really good player who will fit there. And it is not a big return (that the Rockies are getting).'”

The New York Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies on Friday for prospects, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

An All-Star last season, the 30-year-old McMahon has started a Major League-leading 100 games at the hot corner this season and is in the 91st percentile with 4 Outs Above Average.

With Thursday’s trade of first baseman Josh Naylor, it feels like the Arizona Diamondbacks are leaning towards selling before the upcoming MLB trade deadline.

The New York Yankees appear to be in primary pursuit of Eugenio Suarez as the July 31 trade deadline approaches.

However, amid reports of an expensive price tag for a rental of Suarez, they instead pivoted to McMahon, who's under club control through the 2027 season at $16 million per year.

Tonight’s MLB slate features Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees facing their rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, on the Friday Night Baseball slate on Apple TV+.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline, set for July 31, is now less than a week away. That means deals are starting to be made -- the Mariners added Josh Naylor on Thursday night, while the Yankees grabbed Ryan McMahon on Friday -- and that this is the opportune time to refresh our trade candidate rankings.
