The Yankees finally found their third baseman, and one of New York’s stars got straight to rubbing salt in the wound of the team they snatched him from. The Colorado Rockies are sending Ryan McMahon to the Bronx for two low-level prospects.

The New York Yankees' two-year nightmare at the hot corner is finally over. And that comes at the expense of the Colorado 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.
