Brian Cashman and his staff only offered Patrick Corbin, the top free agent pitcher on the market, five years. He took a six-year deal from the Washington Nationals.
Per Fancred’s Jon Heyman, the Bombers missed out on Nathan Eovaldi because they only offered him three years. Eovaldi signed a four-year contract with the Red Sox.
Happ is Yankees’ next pitching target. They didn’t want to go past 3 years on Eovaldi, who is a hero in Boston anyway.

It’s a good thing that the Yankees don’t want to risk getting stuck with the wrong guy for too long.
