Tom Gordon's days as a Yankee appear to be over. That doesn't necessarily mean he is done pitching in New York. Gordon, one of four Yankees to clean out his locker yesterday at Yankee Stadium, said he would like to become a closer again. Since the Yankees already are set at that position with Mariano Rivera, it seems as though Gordon, now a free agent, has pitched his final days in pinstripes. "I'd love to close again somewhere," Gordon said. "We'll see what happens, but if it takes me somewhere else, so be it." Now that he has made it clear he wants to close, Gordon could become one of the most coveted relief pitchers on the market. And after Braden Looper's shaky, injury-filled season, it seems as though the Mets will be looking for a new closer.
