The New York Yankees are one of the first few teams to strike a deal ahead of the trade deadline. The Yanks were linked to Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suarez, but instead, they picked Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon.

Most teams might prefer a high-risk, high-upside project type of pitcher in a package of two arms, but the Rockies probably should not be trusting their development system to mold a pitcher who fits that description.
