The New York Yankees are acquiring Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon for two pitching prospects, lefty Griffin Herring and righty Josh Grosz, the teams announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

McMahon, 30, was viewed as one of the top available positional players on the market. He entered Friday hitting .217\/.314\/.403 (92 OPS+) with 16 home runs in 100 games. His contributions have been worth an estimated 1.4 Wins Above Replacement, per the calculations housed at Baseball Reference. He’s been a steady offensive performer, posting an OPS+ between 90 and 100 in four years and counting, though this represents his worst output since the COVID-shortened 2020 season.<\/p>\n

Yankees trade grades: Ryan McMahon a needed addition in the Bronx, but not the most explosive choice R.J. AndersonMcMahon is due the remainder of his $12 million salary this season. He’s then owed $16 million in each of the next two seasons. In other words, he’s more of a long-term fit than some of the other options available on the market, including Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Su\u00e1rez, an impending free agent.<\/p>\n

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 \u00bd games back in the American League East, was not satisfied with that arrangement.<\/p>\n

Herring, 22, was a sixth-round pick last summer. He’s split the season between Low- and High-A, tallying a 1.71 ERA and a 2.83 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 16 total starts. MLB Pipeline recently ranked him as the eighth-best prospect in New York’s system.<\/p>\n

Grosz, 22, is a former 11th-round pick who has compiled a 4.14 ERA and a 2.69 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 16 High-A appearances. Grosz was ranked by MLB Pipeline as the 21st-best prospect in the Yankees farm system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
