[Juliuss]

So youre saying there a chance?With Yankees superstar slugger Aaron Judge set to hit the free agent market this winter Drew Smith Jersey, MLB insider Ken Rosenthal sees Mets billionaire owner Steve Cohen making a play for the American League MVP favorite.With Judge, Steve Cohen is a classic Mets fan, Rosenthal said on the FOX Sports broadcast.I grew up here and what Mets fans love most is to torture the Yankees. So, even if he cant get Judge, I have a hard time imagining he wont make a bid or at least show interest to drive up the price for the Yankees.If the Mets season doesnt end as successfully as they want it to; why wouldnt they be interested in Judge?Judge turned down a $213.5 million contract extension offer from the Yankees prior to Opening Day. The 30-year-old outfielder bet on himself, which has paid off in a significant way this season, as he leads baseball in bWAR: 9.1, home runs: 57, RBI: 123, runs scored: 117, on-base percentage: .414, slugging percentage: .688, OPS: 1.102, and several other major statistical categories.The four-time All-Star will likely draw a contract in the $350 million or greater range, and Cohen has deep enough pockets to meet his asking price.
