The Athletic's Brendan Kuty reports that the Yanks are interested in right-handed set up man Jake Bird. Bird is in his fourth MLB season, by far his best. He has struck out 10.5 batters per nine innings, and has an ERA just about 4.

The Yankees' new third baseman has already given them excellent defense, and even chipped in with a big hit on Sunday.

Ryan McMahon has quickly impressed New York Yankees fans. On Sunday, he helped spark a comeback with a tying, two-run double and some impressive defense in a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies that ended a three-game losing streak.

The Yankees have had a need for a third baseman since releasing DJ LeMahieu and moving Jazz Chisholm 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 ½ games back in the American League East, was not satisfied with that arrangement.

The New York Yankees' acquisition of third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies came as a bit of a surprise after they were previously linked to another star slugger.

The New York Yankees' two-year nightmare at the hot corner is finally over. And that comes at the expense of the Colorado Rockies.

The Colorado Rockies can do nothing more than watch third baseman Ryan McMahon from afar after trading him to the New York Yankees.

The 30-year-old McMahon has graded out as one of the 10 best defensive third basemen this season, but his offense is below average.

In exchange for McMahon, the Rockies added a couple of starting pitchers to their farm. Herring, a left-hander, was the Yankees’ No. 8 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, while the right-handed Grosz was ranked No. 21.

Ryan McMahon is now a New York Yankee. The former Colorado Rockie recently shared that he had always dreamed of playing for the Yankees.
