"Buddy Black threw me over there a couple of times [with the Rockies] but it's not something I've done a bunch of, McMahon told reporters. "But I'm a ballplayer. I think I can go out there and catch the ball. We'll see how it looks." It could add some more position versatility for McMahon on the left side of the infield.
Ryan McMahon did not participate in the New York Yankees’ first full-squad workout due to flu-like symptoms.
Fantasy Impact
McMahon missed the first day of full-squad camp, and it remains unclear when he will be able to rejoin the New York Yankees. He will have some time to recover before the team’s first spring game Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. McMahon appeared in 54 games with the Yankees last season, posting a .208/.308/.333 slash line with four home runs.
The Yankees and GM Brian Cashman stated that they are interested in brining back Ryan McMahon to play third baseman.
Fantasy Impact
Cashman had glowing things to say about McMahon when he was asked about potential available third baseman. Cashman stated that he is looking forward to seeing if the team can improve on some of the areas in which McMahon struggles. He struggled at the plate in his 54 games with the Yankees, but is a steady hand in the field and would be an asset for the Yankees defensively. McMahon remains under contract for the next two seasons, but the Yankees could look to bring in competition to compete during spring training.
Ryan McMahon went 2-for-3 in win over the Orioles with a home run, two runs scored, and one RBI.
