www.si.com/mlb/yankees Yankees Have Clear Intentions With Ryan McMahon Trade Areas of central Kansas, including around Wichita, could see heavy rain overnight Thursday into Friday that could cause flash flooding, the National Weather Service in Wichita said.

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.

McMahon isn’t the perfect solution at the hot corner. He strikes out too much (leading the National League with 127 this season), his swing-and-miss tendencies are a red flag and his numbers away from hitter-friendly Coors Field aren’t particularly impressive.
