The Yankees have had scout Rick Williams watching Texas in the Rangers' last two series. Rangers closer Eric Gagne is believed to be of interest to the Yankees as a possible setup man, though Rangers setup man and former closer Akinori Otsuka is also available. Gagne's one-year contract, worth $6 million plus incentives, includes a no-trade veto clause to all but 12 teams. Fox Sports reported yesterday that he does not have the ability to veto a trade to either the Yankees or Mets. The Yankees' bullpen ERA of 4.09 is ninth in the American League.
