Yankees, Mets and Red Sox Target Rockies’ Ryan McMahon Ahead of Trade Deadline

Colorado is evaluating offers for the veteran infielder ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 25: Nolan Jones #22 (L) and Ryan McMahon #24 of the Colorado Rockies talk with Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees during the fifth inning at Yankee Stadium on August 25, 2024 in New York City. The Yankees defeated the Rockies 10-3.
DENVER, COLORADO - JULY 24: Ryan McMahon #24 of the Colorado Rockies celebrates with his bench after hitting a home run against the Boston Red Sox at Coors Field on July 24, 2024 in Denver Colorado.
DENVER, CO - JUNE 7: Brett Baty #7 of the New York Mets throws to first base to complete the double play as Ryan McMahon #24 of the Colorado Rockies slides in in the eighth inning at Coors Field on June 7, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.

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.
