While one rival GM suggested the Yankees are willing to listen on both Ryan McMahon and Luis García Jr., a Yankees person insisted the García trade claim was “BS.”
It’s no surprise McMahon is available after his terrible season in the Bronx. The Yankees seem very prepared to move on from him.
But they know that they’d either need to pay down his $16M salary for 2027, or take on another “bad” contract. It seems like they feel like they have little choice.
One factor complicating trades, especially for players with only a year to go like McMahon — and García if they are actually willing to deal him — is that no one can be certain 2027 won’t be cut short.
