David Robertson requested $3.55 million and was offered $2.85 million from the Yankees when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday. Robertson, who is arbitration-eligible for the second time, earned $1.6 million last season while posting a 2.67 ERA and 81/19 K/BB ratio over 60 2/3 innings. The two sides will try to find a middle ground prior to a possible hearing in February.
