The New York Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies on Friday for prospects, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

McMahon, 30, was viewed as one of the top available positional players on the market.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said his team's defensive performance was "just not good enough" after New York made four errors in an 8-4 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday night. The Yankees made seven errors in the three-game series.

It's been a rough stretch for the New York Yankees (56-46), who have relinquished control of the AL East to the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays have won 27, or 60%, of the 45 games they've played as favorites this season.
