The New York Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for prospects, a person familiar with the deal said.

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.

The Padres showed they’re going for it in the NL West by trading with the Athletics for closer Mason Miller and starter JP Sears. The Padres also acquired first baseman Ryan O’Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano from the Orioles in exchange for six players.
