Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is expected to be one of the top free agents on the market this offseason, coming off a 62-homer season in which he came close to winning the American League Triple Crown. The Mets are the highest-spending team in baseball and have a hole or two in their outfield.
You might think Judge and the Mets are a match made in heaven, but there’s one other factor to consider: the relationship between Mets owner Steve Cohen and Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner.
According to MLB insider Andy Martino of SNY, that relationship will play a huge role in potential Judge negotiations.
