Yankees extend qualifying offer to closer David Robertson

The New York Yankees have extended a qualifying offer to closer David Robertson, the team announced Monday.

The offer is worth $15.3 million over one season. Robertson now has one week to accept or decline the offer.

According to the Journal News, Robertson was the only Yankee to receive an offer, meaning veteran pitcher Hiroki Kuroda did not receive one.

Robertson had a 3.08 ERA, 39 saves and 96 strikeouts in 64.1 innings in 2014. The 29-year-old is a former 17th-round draft pick by New York in 2006.

Kuroda, 39, was 11-9 with a 3.71 ERA for the Yankees in 2014. In three seasons in New York, he was 38-33 with a 3.44 ERA and 463 strikeouts.

On Monday, it was reported that the Yankees are in talks to re-sign third baseman Chase Headley, who was acquired in a July trade.

The Yankees went 84-79 last season, missing the playoffs for the second straight year.
