Yankees insider all but confirms Ryan McMahon trade was a waste

If New York Yankees fans need more evidence that the Ryan McMahon trade was regrettable, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic has the goods. When asked during a recent mailbag segment about the Yankees possibly replacing Ryan McMahon at third base, Kirschner suggested that it’s likelier the Yanks will platoon the position in 2026.

Kirschner pointed to the right-handed hitting Amed Rosario as a sensible platoon partner for McMahon, but didn’t rule out Japanese free agent Kazuma Okamoto.
