The New York Yankees made their first big addition on Friday afternoon. Now, they can turn all their attention toward adding a talented starting pitcher.

The Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Rockies for two pitching prospects on Friday afternoon.

The Yankees have had a need for a third baseman since releasing DJ LeMahieu and moving Jazz Chisholm back to the keystone. As of late, manager Aaron Boone has used a combination of Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas at the hot corner. Clearly New York, now 4 ½ games back in the American League East, was not satisfied with that arrangement.
