The Colorado Rockies are facing trade interest for third baseman Ryan McMahon as they underperform this season. Teams like the Cubs and Dodgers are monitoring McMahon, who has long been a subject of trade rumors. Despite the team's struggles, management appears reluctant to rebuild or trade players, even as contracts expire. Notably, McMahon, a favorite of owner Dick Monfort, signed a significant extension in 2022 but is underwhelming this season. Analysts suggest the Rockies missed the opportunity to trade McMahon earlier this season to optimize talent acquisition and finances.
The Rockies missed their ideal window for trading McMahon, as the team could've saved some money and gotten decent young talent if the third baseman had been dealt before the All-Star break.
Ownership and the front office are seemingly resistant to a full rebuild, often opting against dealing some players heading towards free agency.
