The Yankees have to replace JA Happ right now. Sorry, it’s just business.

The New York Yankees, in a shortened season, have to basically accept subpar work from James Paxton while he attempts to find himself, battling back from back surgery.

But what’s JA Happ’s excuse? Do we really have to be doing this with two rotation spots?

Happ doesn’t have it anymore. Whether he’s had any semblance of “it” for the past 20 months is also a valid debate.
