And as far as Gagne goes, his agent (Boras) has met with the Yankees (though not necessarily for Gagne...) and is involved in talks with the Red Sox, Blue Jays, (surprise!) Cubs, Cleveland, and the Dodgers.

I'd have to think though that the Yankees may not be the best fit simply because Gagne wants to close. But if they could convince him to become a set-up man (and possible heir-apparent to Mariano) ala Tom "Flash" Gordon (another one they should never have let get away), it would be great.
