On Wednesday evening, the New York Yankees lost to the Athletics (in the Bronx) by a score of 3-2.

McMahon has gotten off to a slow start to the season.
He is batting .077 with two RBI’s, two runs (and 13 strikeouts) in 11 games.
It’s worth noting that the 31-year-old is still owed a lot of money this season (and next).
Everything Yankees wrote: “The Yankees will be paying Ryan McMahon $32M over the next two seasons. Brian Cashman ate the entirety of the contact from the Rockies. A massive blunder.”

McMahon is in the middle of his second season with New York.
He was traded (via the Colorado Rockies) in 2025.
The Yankees wrote (via X) on July 25, 2025: “The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired infielder Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for minor league pitchers Josh Grosz and Griffin Herring.”

He spent the first eight and a half seasons of his career in Colorado (and made the 2024 All-Star Game).
In six out of his first nine seasons, McMahon hit 20+ home runs.
Based on the money he’s owed, the Yankees will be hoping for him to return to form at some point soon.
