What the Yankees' trade for Ryan McMahon means for the Guardians’ postseason push

At long last, it’s finally happened. The Colorado Rockies are embracing their role as a seller at the trade deadline.

And, unfortunately for the Guardians, it’s benefited a longtime rival. On Friday afternoon, news first broke that the Yankees had agreed with the Rockies on a trade that sent McMahon to the Bronx in exchange for pitching prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz.

It’s a landscaping-shifting trade that will get a bit more attention because of the fact the Yankees are involved, but it also could have a huge impact on the Guardians' push toward the postseason.
