The deal is worth $70 million, according to multiple reports.
McMahon started at third base for the Rockies last season and
hit 23 homers and drove in a career-best 86 runs in 151 games.
He slashed .254/.331/.449 as the replacement for the departed
Nolan Arenado.
The 27-year-old McMahon again will be Colorado's primary third
baseman this season despite the recent signing of Kris Bryant to
a seven-year, $182 million deal. Bryant is slated to see most of
his action in left field.
McMahon's extension calls for a $5 million salary this season,
followed by $9 million in 2023, $12 million in 2024 and '25, and
$16 million in 2026 and '27.
McMahon reached the majors with the Rockies in 2017 and has a
.243 career average with 61 homers and 215 RBIs in 452 games. He
smacked a career-best 24 homers in 2019 when he saw most of his
action at second base.
