The Rockies? They didn’t make any blockbuster moves, but they weren’t wallflowers either. They traded veteran third baseman Ryan McMahon last Friday, veteran reliever Tyler Kinley on Wednesday, and righty reliever Jake Bird on Thursday Following is a look at the Rockies’ dealings:

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.

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