The New York Yankees' acquisition of third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies came as a bit of a surprise after they were previously linked to another star slugger.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.
