The New York Yankees are reportedly considering a trade for Houston Astros infielder Isaac Paredes as a potential long-term replacement for third baseman Ryan McMahon. McMahon has struggled offensively this season, although recent improvements have been noted. Paredes, a two-time All-Star, is under contract for $9 million and has shown offensive capability with nine home runs this season. The Yankees are looking for a reliable option at third base and see Paredes as a fit due to his flexibility and hitting ability. McMahon's inconsistent performance may leave the Yankees seeking additional depth at that position.
