From Ken Rosenthal:

The Yankees made a late push for Gordon, increasing their offer from two to three years in their bid to retain him as Mariano Rivera's setup man.


A commenter at WasWatching.com, MJ, made a great point.

... I still don't see why they didn't go all out with Gordon AND Farnsworth. If they were willing to throw money at Karsay, Quantrill, Stanton, Hammond and all the other scrubs that have polluted the bullpen, why would they play coy with the one reliever besides Mo that has actually done his job?

At this point, I find myself agreeing and feeling a bit disappointed that we didn't push a little harder, but I suppose you can always feel that way when you don't sign a guy.
