Renck & File: Rockies wisely trade Ryan McMahon. Too bad it was a year late

The Rockies make me laugh so hard, sometimes it is hard to write through watering eyes.

Friday, they actually did something smart. Even if it was a year too late.

RyMac won’t be back. The Rockies shipped Ryan McMahon to the Yankees, where he will love contending and staring at the short right-field fence, but not the booing if he keeps striking out at his current pace (second in MLB with 127).

First, the good news: It’s clear general manager Bill Schmidt knows how the trade deadline works. Maybe next week, the Rockies will realize they only get three strikes while hitting, not four.
