The New York Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon and another infielder ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline to strengthen their struggling roster. With the team losing its seven-game lead to the Blue Jays, adjustments were necessary. DJ LeMahieu was DFA’d after a lackluster performance, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. was moved to his natural position. While Oswald Peraza struggled offensively, fans welcomed McMahon's addition due to his potential for better offensive contribution and superior defensive skills, showing strong support for the Yankees GM's moves during this critical time.
Ryan McMahon filled a key area of need for the Yankees, bringing not only better offensive potential compared to former player Oswald Peraza, but also a standout defensive ability with four outs above average this year.
Despite Ryan McMahon's wRC+ of 90 being deemed unspectacular, he offers a much more professional at-bat than the aforementioned Peraza, indicating notable upside for the team.
