LAS VEGAS — J.A. Happ’s imminent return to the Yankees gives the club five starters for five spots. What it doesn’t do is halt the hunt for more.
Happ agreed to a two-year deal with an option on Wednesday that will become official and announced after contract language is worked out.
When done, Happ’s deal will be for two years at $34 million — $17 million each season — with a $17 million 2021 option based on games started or an innings-pitched threshold in 2020.
