Signs six-year extension McMahon signed a six-year, $70 million extension with the Rockies on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The deal buys out the final two years of McMahon's team control and adds an additional four seasons, keeping the infielder around through the end of 2027, his age-32 season. McMahon hit 23 homers last season while slashing .254/.331/.449, good for a career-best (but still below-average) 95 wRC+. The extension is great news for those who have McMahon on their dynasty teams, as he'll now continue to have his numbers boosted by Coors Field for six more years, barring a trade.

Could continue to play third base McMahon could continue to serve as the Rockies' primary third baseman in 2022, even after the team signed Kris Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million contract Wednesday, Patrick Saun...
Impact McMahon has had steady playing time across the last several seasons, and he performed well in 2021 while mainly playing at third base after the team traded Nolan Arenado to the Cardinals. McMahon appeared in 151 games last year and slashed .254/.331/.449 with 23 home runs, 86 RBI, 80 runs and six stolen bases. Given the 27-year-old's strong results and Bryant's ability to serve as a corner outfielder, McMahon will likely continue to serve as the team's primary third baseman while Bryant takes over in left field. With Bryant in line for a spot in the top half of the order, McMahon should also see increased run-producing opportunities while hitting near the middle of the order in 2022.
