J.A. Happ, the 36-year-old southpaw, re-signed a 2-year, $34 million deal with the New York Yankees after Patrick Corbin‘s price rose beyond the Yankees’ budget.

Happ arrived early for Spring Training and spoke with reporters on Friday, according to Greg Joyce of the New York Post. Happ said of his signing with the Yankees:
