According to the NY Post, the agent for Aroldis Chapman is stating that both the Mets and the Yankees have had discussions with them.  Chapman's agency is based in the city and he has spent some time there.

Mets fans, don't get excited.  This smells a lot like an agent doing everything he can to include as many large market teams as possible.  Would I be interested in him if Chapman were to come at a price tag in the $30 million range?  Sure.  However, he is raw and untested so to give him $60 million sounds a little Kaz Matsui-ish to me if you get my drift.
