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. But if it gets Volpe back to being a decent shortstop, it could end up being one of the most important ones.

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 — The scuffling New York Yankees added infield depth on Saturday night, acquiring Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Clayton Beeter and a minor leaguer.

The New York Yankees kept busy ahead of the MLB trade deadline, acquiring utilityman Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals.

The New York Yankees acquired Amed Rosario in a trade with the Washington Nationals on Saturday evening, the teams announced. He provides depth as a player who has the versatility to play all around the infield. Rosario has started 20 games at third base and 13 games at second base for the Nationals this season.

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.

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 certainly raised his stock with his recent play at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He has 13 home runs in just 19 Triple-A games since his promotion. That includes a recent three-homer game at Rochester.

NEW YORK — One day after acquiring a new starting third baseman, the Yankees made another trade to bolster their infield depth. The Yankees added veteran infielder Amed Rosario from the Nationals on Saturday night in exchange for Triple-A reliever Clayton Beeter and Browm Martinez, an 18-year-old outfielder in the Dominican Summer League.
