Yanks Qualify DRob
Today, the Yanks gave their closer David Robertson his QO. This means a couple of things, first, they want to keep him where he is and Betances available for real fires. Second, it means they won't lose him without getting pick. They didn't offer Kuroda, so he could be gone, retired or back.
The Yanks are also said the be negotiating with Chase Headley. The efficacy of that will all depend on the price and the years.
Still no news on their minor league re-orginization.

Keep in mind that they could have had him at a discount before this season were it not for that stupid non-negotiation rule. At least they broke that with Gardner.
I know, they're penny wise and pound foolish.
Since reports are that he's going to decline, and they have to know that, and they didn't try to extend him, I don't think this means that they want to keep him.
Per the NY Daily News, it doesn't appear the Yankees will pursue any of the big-name pitching free agents. Perhaps Cashman has learned his lesson?
From RAB: David Robertson said things are “quiet on the front” when asked if he and the Yankees have had any talks about a new contract. At least six teams already have interest in the right-hander, which is not surprising. Big market contenders like the Tigers, Dodgers, and Nationals all need help in the late innings.
Seems LINJ is right. Doesn't look like they want to keep him all that badly.
