Although they may be a few years removed from their prime, they maintain a skill set that can help their new team.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Yankees are reportedly one of the teams interested in acquiring Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon, who is labeled a \u201cbuy-low\u201d trade candidate by Bleacher Report\u2019s Joel Reuter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Rockies\u2019 Previous Hesitancy in Trading McMahon<\/h2>\n<p>The Colorado Rockies held on to McMahon last season, hoping he would be a key piece of a slow rebuild. Instead, Colorado is 21-70 and on pace to have one of the worst win-loss records in MLB history.<\/p>\n<p>McMahon has two years and $32 million remaining on his contract, which may improve the trade package the Rockies receive in return for the 2024 All-Star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRyan McMahon looked like a valuable potential trade chip at this time last year, as he was on his way to his first career All-Star selection while hitting .272\/.350\/.447 with 14 home runs and 45 RBI,\u201d Reuter wrote on Friday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"id\/article\/slide\/5219758\/element\/3\">\n<p>\u201cThe also-ran Rockies instead opted against fielding offers for him at the deadline, then watched his value crater as he hit .188\/.283\/.309 over 237 plate appearances during the second half of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McMahon\u2019s trade stock has not significantly risen in 2025, as he\u2019s hitting .213\/.314\/.377 with a .691 OPS and 12 home runs in 89 games. The slugger hit a career-high 24 home runs in 2019. He remains a steady defender, accumulating three outs above average at third base this year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will the Yankees Target McMahon in a Trade?<\/h2>\n<p>If the Colorado Rockies decide to float McMahon\u2019s name in trade discussions, the New York Yankees could be one of the teams interested. However, that\u2019s a major if.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith two years remaining on his six-year, $70 million deal, McMahon remains a logical trade candidate for the Rockies, though there\u2019s rarely any logic in play when it comes to the Colorado front office,\u201d wrote Reuter.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees are in obvious need of a third baseman, and USA Today\u2019s Bob Nightengale reports they are also \u201ckeeping a close eye\u201d on Isiah Kiner-Falefa of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Eugenio Suarez of the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n<p>While Suarez hits for more power than Kiner-Falefa, the Pirates\u2019 utility man brings more versatility on defense. In McMahon\u2019s case, he\u2019s just one season removed from an All-Star appearance and should be cheaper to acquire than Suarez, one of the hottest names on the trade rumor mill.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Suarez will reach free agency at the end of the season, while McMahon remains under club control through 2027.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Trade Package<\/h2>\n<p>If the New York Yankees propose a trade for McMahon to the Colorado Rockies, they may get away with shipping out only one of their top prospects, packaged with lower-level minor leaguers.<\/p>\n<p>George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones are too highly rated to be involved in a deal like this, making players like outfielder Everson Pereira or left-handed pitcher Brock Selvidge more realistic candidates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Conor Liguori is a sports journalist covering the MLB for Heavy Sports.
