The New York Yankees addressed a major trade deadline need by acquiring power-hitting third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Rockies.

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.

Griffin Herring showcased elite stuff as a pitcher for LSU baseball. Now he's putting on a show in the minor leagues.
