Rockies land 2 pitching prospects from Yanks for McMahon
DENVER -- Ryan McMahon's hot hitting out of the All-Star break has earned him a trade to the Yankees, and netted the Rockies two starting pitching prospects.
www.mlb.comHere’s the latest on Ryan McMahon trade news:
- The Rockies traded Ryan McMahon to the New York Yankees around July 25, 2025, in a deal that sent two of New York’s pitching prospects (Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz) to Colorado in exchange for McMahon. This was framed as Colorado's rebuild continuing, with McMahon serving as a veteran piece before the deadline. The Rockies acknowledged McMahon’s departure as part of a broader shift in their roster strategy.[2][3]
- Reactions from Colorado’s camp were emotional, with teammates and staff reflecting on McMahon’s leadership and contributions as he moved to the Yankees. Yankee management indicated they were adding a versatile third baseman to bolster infield defense and offensive depth at the hot corner.[1][3][9]
Illustration (example of the trade impact):
