MLB is looking into whether the Mets and Yankees communicated to suppress the free-agent market of Aaron Judge
reported the Mets would not fight the Yankees to sign Judge this offseason, attributing the comments to Mets sources. Martino also wrote, “the team in Queens sees Judge as a Yankee, uniquely tailored to be an icon in their uniform, stadium and branding efforts. Owners Steve Cohen and Hal Steinbrenner enjoy a mutually respectful relationship, and do not expect to upend that with a high-profile bidding war.
This prompted the MLB Players’ Association to request that the commissioner’s office investigate whether the two owners, Cohen of the Mets and Steinbrenner of the Yankees, had conspired to curb Judge’s free-agent value in an attempt to limit the value of his next contract, according to Rosenthal. The CBA does not allow clubs to share information about players’ contracts or free-agent negotiations,, “Players shall not act in concert with other Players and Clubs shall not act in concert with other Clubs.”
MLB is expected to request Steinbrenner and Cohen’s phone and email records to further investigate the collusion claims. The players association also reserves the right to file a grievance about a possible CBA violation, which would be separate from the league’s investigation. An independent arbitrator would handle the case if a grievance is filed. The MLBPA would have to prove that any communications between the two teams damaged Judge’s free-agent market.
