The New York Yankees are truly between a rock and a hard place with him. Happ is 37 years old, coming off a largely forgettable 2019 and is owed $17 million for next season.
Meanwhile, general manager Brian Cashman plans on adding pitching this offseason. Names like Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg have been thrown around. Both will command contracts over $250 million. No strangers to spending the big bucks, the Yankees could easily outspend other teams for either man.
Except, as has been discussed before, the Yankees’ rotation is already crowded.
