New York Yankees may seek to trade Ryan McMahon

The New York Yankees may attempt to trade Ryan McMahon during the upcoming offseason following a difficult 2026 season. McMahon, who is due $16 million in 2027, finished the regular season with a .213 batting average, 11 home runs, and 41 RBIs in 124 games.

Analysts suggest the team may look to redirect his salary to more effective roster positions, noting his high strikeout rate of 29.4% and a .279 on-base percentage. While the Yankees may seek payroll relief, finding a trade partner for the final year of his six-year, $70 million contract could prove challenging.
