Yankees Acquire Third Baseman Ryan McMahon From the Rockies for Prospects, AP Source Says
DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 24 – Several contenders and rebuilding teams weigh trade options involving key players with contracts and playoff positioning influencing decisions ahead of MLB's July 2025 deadline.
- The New York Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies in a trade announced on July 25, 2025.
- The trade followed the Rockies' need to adjust their roster and McMahon's streaky 2025 season amid trade deadline rumors and contract considerations.
- McMahon, 30, under contract for the next two seasons with a total value of $32 million, is recognized for his reliable power hitting and strong defense; in exchange, the Yankees sent two minor league pitching prospects to Colorado.
- McMahon's 2025 stats include a.293 batting average, 11 home runs, 58 RBIs, and 1.5 fWAR over 91 games, and New York plans to quickly insert him into their lineup to fill a third base need.
- This trade may open opportunities for Rockies prospect Kyle Karros at third base and addresses the Yankees' effort to bolster their playoff chase, trailing the Blue Jays by 4.5 games in the AL East.
