The New York Yankees' new third baseman is getting right to work in Brooklyn. Yesterday, the Yankees traded the Colorado Rockies two prospects for infielder Rya

NEW YORK (AP) — Third baseman Ryan McMahon was set to make his New York Yankees debut Saturday, batting eighth against Philadelphia. New York acquired the 2024 All-Star from Colorado on Friday for a pair of 22-year-old pitchers in the low minors, right-hander Josh Grosz and left-hander Griffin Herring.

There's an incredible historical tie-in for McMahon that might be a good omen here. His current manager, Aaron Boone, wore No. 19 for the Yankees in 2003. That's the year he hit the epic ALCS walk-off home run against the Boston Red Sox in Game 7.
