Helping Volpe get back on track is not the headline reason the Yankees acquired McMahon. They desperately needed to improve their defense at third base and protect their investment in ground-ball pitcher Max Fried.

Spencer Jones has been mashing with the New York Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, boosting his trade value so high that he may only move if Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is on the table.
NEW YORK — Aaron Judge doesn’t want the Yankees to slow down at the trade deadline just because he’s going to miss some time with an elbow injury.
Friday night ended with real fear in Yankeeland that Aaron Judge was lost for the season. If that had happened, the team could have seriously considered pivoting selling at the trade deadline, league sources say.
The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are both reportedly pursuing a trade for the same All-Star utilityman from the St. Louis Cardinals.
Jones has been on fire since his Triple-A promotion. He has 13 home runs in 19 games, a .308 batting average and 1.079 OPS in combined high-A and Triple-A action this season, including a three-homer game last week. That’s putting new power on display just as the trade deadline looms in July.
The Yankees made their first trade deadline move on Friday, acquiring a third baseman for two minor-league pitchers.
The New York Yankees need a third baseman and have until Thursday to make a trade. Could the Kansas City Royals provide them with an All-Star?
