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.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade is pending physicals. MLB.com was first to report the agreement, which said the Yankees were sending prospects to the Rockies.
Who is Ryan McMahon?
McMahon leaves the last-place Rockies for a Yankees team that's in the thick of a playoff chase. The slick-fielding 30-year-old infielder is hitting .217 with 16 homers and 35 RBIs this season.
