Here’s what fans have been saying about McMahon recently:
@The_Jut: “Alright, Ryan McMahon can’t be our starting 3B through next year, what’re we gonna do with this contract?”
@joshuadononvanf: “Bro if Ryan McMahon wasn’t so good at defense I just wish we could dfa him”
@pamsson: “*whispers on twitter* Ryan McMahon is also a pretty big problem especially because he makes $16 million, his defense is regressing, and his contact quality is at a career low right now. He’s slugging under .300(!!!) from a corner spot.”
@JaggerStevens0: “Yankees Problems Right Now! 1. Entire Bullpen 2. Austin Wells 3. Ryan Mcmahon 4. Trent Grisham”
