Ryan McMahon is headed to the Bronx.
The Rockies traded the third baseman to the Yankees on Friday in exchange for New York pitching prospects Griffin Hering and Josh Grosz, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
It marks the end of McMahon’s nine-year tenure in Colorado that saw the 2013 second-round pick emerge as a fan favorite and a National League All-Star last season. This year, McMahon has struggled offensively, but he still has 16 homers and is one of the best defensive third basemen in baseball.
In exchange for McMahon, the Rockies added a couple starting pitchers to their farm. Herring, a left-hander, was the Yankees’ No. 8 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, while the right-handed Grosz was ranked No. 21.
Herring has a 1.71 ERA in 16 starts in Class-A and High-A this season, while Grosz has a 4.14 ERA in 16 games (15 starts) in High-A.
