Ryan McMahon, Rockies agree to $70M, 6-year contract
Infielder Ryan McMahon and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to a $70 million, six-year contract that avoided salary arbitration.
www.koaa.comDirect answer: The most recent information available publicly shows Ryan McMahon signed a six-year, $70 million extension with the Colorado Rockies in March 2022, which kept him under contract through 2027 with potential opt-out provisions if certain MVP thresholds were met in earlier seasons.[1][2][3]
Context and quick recap:
- The 2022 extension was announced as a six-year deal worth $70 million, with an opt-out option after the 2025 season if McMahon finished top five in MVP voting in 2022-24 (per reports).[3][1]
- MLB and sports outlets at the time framed the move as part of the Rockies' strategy to lock in core infield pieces following Kris Bryant’s signing, with McMahon primarily handling third and second base.[2][4]
- Subsequent official Rockies or MLB.com pages reiterated the extension through 2027, though terms weren’t always publicly disclosed in initial announcements; reports suggested the guarantee was $70 million.[4][8]
Notes:
- If you’re looking for any updates after 2022 (e.g., status of the opt-out, performance-based incentives, or any renegotiations), I can search for the latest reports or summarize any new contract talks.
- Local context (Grapevine, TX) isn’t directly relevant to McMahon’s Rockies contract, but I can map any interest in players from the Rockies who might have been considered in Texas if you’d like.
