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 Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
