Yankees trade grades: Ryan McMahon a needed addition in the Bronx, but not the most explosive choice
Briefly

The New York Yankees traded for third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies, sending two pitching prospects in return. Yankees received McMahon following the release of DJ LeMahieu and the position shift of Jazz Chisholm Jr. Despite mixed opinions on McMahon's performance, he is a solid hitter with consistent OPS+ between 90 and 98 and is regarded as a strong defensive player. However, he has a high strikeout rate and concerning home-road performance, though there are potential benefits in a new hitting environment.
Ryan McMahon is a steady offensive performer, turning in an OPS+ between 90 and 98 going on five consecutive seasons thanks to his strength and eye.
McMahon is highly prone to striking out (nearly 32% this season) and his home-road splits may inspire the collywobbles.
