The New York Yankees say they are not ready to move on from third baseman Ryan McMahon as the playoffs approach. Multiple reports note that manager Aaron Boone continues to show confidence in McMahon despite recent performance concerns.
This comes as McMahon’s offensive production is well below his typical level, with one outlet citing a low .614 OPS. Sources also point to a defensive decline, suggesting his fielding has not been as solid as in prior seasons. Even so, Yahoo Sports reports Boone maintains that he still believes in McMahon, indicating the team is weighing longer-term value and fit rather than focusing only on current struggles.
While both outlets highlight the same general issues—trouble at the plate and reduced defensive sharpness—neither frames the situation as an immediate demotion or removal from the playoff roster. Instead, the emphasis is on Boone’s decision to keep faith and the Yankees’ willingness to carry McMahon forward into October.
