When the Yankees‘ contract talks with Aaron Judge broke down, the Mets speculation was inevitable.
Judge plans to test free agency and is seeking a massive financial commitment. Mets owner Steve Cohen has money to burn and a demonstrated affinity for splashy acquisitions. The potential pairing seems obvious, especially given Judge has proven he can handle New York and the National League now has a designated hitter, which makes him more valuable to the Mets.
But just because something is logical does not mean it will come to fruition. There is little chance the Mets will pursue Judge, according to The New York Post’s Jon Heyman, and that reality is driven by Cohen.
