The New York Yankees' two-year nightmare at the hot corner is finally over. And that comes at the expense of the Colorado Rockies.

The Yankees are acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies, according to multiple reports. Third base was one of the Yankees' biggest needs, and McMahon will provide lefty power (though with a lot of strikeouts) and a contract that takes him through the 2027 season.

It had to happen, but there were still some people surprised when the Colorado Rockies actually pulled the trigger on trading homegrown star third baseman, Ryan McMahon, ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
