Corey Seager trade could see Yankees 3B on the move The Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies in this year’s trade window to give them some stability for the latter part of the season. In 54 games, McMahon hit at . 208 with 4 home runs and 16 RBIs. Ad According to Sports Illustrated’s Tobey Schulman, a trade with Texas could involve McMahon, who is owed $23. 8 million over the next two years. “The first name Texas might want in return is a current member of New York’s Major League roster,” Schulman wrote. “Moved at this past trade deadline, Ryan McMahon could be an easy throw-in for the Yankees. This frees up a third-base spot for Anthony Volpe and Jose Caballero.” Other names in the possible trade included George Lombard Jr., Bryce Cunningham, and Ben Hess. The Rangers require increasing their pitching depth after finishing 81-81 this season. × Feedback Why did you not like this content?
