Overview
- The Yankees, Mets and Red Sox have each been publicly linked to trade discussions for McMahon as they seek to shore up infield depth before the deadline.
- New York clubs face acute needs after the Yankees lost Oswaldo Cabrera to a season-ending injury and let Gleyber Torres depart, while the Mets have underperforming prospects Mark Vientos and Brett Baty.
- McMahon has posted five straight seasons with an OPS+ between 93 and 98 and is praised for his reliable third-base defense.
- His shift toward a harder, pull-heavy swing this year has increased his power potential but also raised his whiff rate.
- Colorado, out of playoff contention, is expected to field offers for the infielder, who remains under contract through 2027 at a total of $70 million.
