The MLB Trade Deadline exposes how confident front offices are in their teams' ability to contend that season, and the New York Yankees believe they can win it all this year. New York acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies and fellow third baseman Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals over the past week to shore up its infield depth.

Hours before the 2025 MLB trade deadline at 4 p.m. Thursday, the Rockies reportedly made another deal with the New York Yankees, sending reliever Jake Bird to the Bronx. The trade came just six days after the Rockies sent third baseman Ryan McMahon to the Yankees in exchange for two minor-league pitchers.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (47-63) visit the Colorado Rockies (29-80) for the second game of their 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Coors Field is set for 3:10 p.m. ET.
