The market for Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon may not have been as robust as originally believed.

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.
