Blue Jays Force Division Rival into Pre-Deadline Desperation Move
Briefly

The New York Yankees have acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline. The Yankees gave up left-handed pitcher Griffin Herring and right-handed pitcher Josh Grosz, two promising 22-year-olds ranked highly in Colorado's prospect list. McMahon, who recently made his first All-Star appearance, has a career batting average of .240 and is known for high strikeout rates. The Yankees are struggling, having lost six of their last nine games, and needed to improve their roster amid a disappointing season.
Ryan McMahon is headed to the Bronx, in exchange for LHP Griffin Herring and RHP Josh Grosz, two 22-year-olds ranked 5th and 18th respectively on Colorado's top prospects list.
Yankees reportedly acquire 3B Ryan McMahon, a 30-year-old infielder, despite his career .240 batting average and the second most strikeouts in the Majors this season.
