The New York Yankees' quest to shore up third base at this year's MLB trade deadline was less of a splash and more like timid three-year-old just hanging out on the side of the pool with a lifejacket on.
For all their big-boy talk of going after Arizona Diamondbacks' slugger Eugenio Suárez ahead of the July 31 deadline, all the Yankees did was grab a third baseman from the worst team in the National League who's having the worst year of his career. It's okay, Red Sox fans, go ahead and laugh.
The Yankees pulled off a trade with the Colorado Rockies on Friday afternoon that will bring Ryan McMahon to the Bronx in exchange for two prospects.
