The Colorado Rockies can do nothing more than watch third baseman Ryan McMahon from afar after trading him to the New York Yankees.

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.
