Yankees Officially Re-Sign J.A. Happ
Dec. 13, 2018
.The New York Yankees officially agreed to re-sign starting pitcher J.A. Happ on Thursday, signing him to a two-year deal with an option for a third year. He'll make $17 million in 2019, $17 million in 2020 and have a vesting option for 2021 worth $17 million. The lefty's 2021 option triggers with 165 innings or 27 starts in 2020. Despite turning 36 years old in October, the southpaw was highly coveted after winning 17 games between the Blue Jays and Yankees in 2018. He had a nice 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 8.9 K/9 IN 11 starts for the Yanks in the second half and will remain relevant in mixed leagues for his strikeout upside.

Yankees Close To Re-Signing J.A. Happ
Dec. 12, 2018
.The New York Yankees are close to re-signing starting pitcher J.A. Happ. Happ is 36 years old but was very effective for the Yanks after the acquired him from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline in 2018. The left-hander had 17 wins and posted a 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 8.9 K/9 in 11 starts in pinstripes. He still has some strikeout upside and will remain relevant in mixed leagues if he agrees to return to the Bronx.

Braves A Dark Horse For J.A. Happ
Dec. 10, 2018
.The Atlanta Braves are a dark-horse contender for free-agent starting pitcher J.A. Happ. They are still in the field of potential landing spots after he narrowed down his list. The 36-year-old managed to win 17 games last year with the Blue Jays and Yankees and came on stronger in the second half with a playoff team. While the left-hander isn't flashy, he still has strikeout upside and will remain attractive in mixed leagues as a midrange starter. Atlanta wouldn't be a bad landing spot for the veteran hurler.
J.A. Happ A Good Fit For Phillies
Dec. 10, 2018
.The Philadelphia Phillies have had ongoing talks with free-agent starting pitcher J.A. Happ over the last several days, and he appears to be their best fit, according to sources. The left-hander has experience pitching in Philadelphia and is seeking a three-year deal. The veteran southpaw is 36 years old but had 17 wins, a 3.65 ERA and a healthy 193 K's in 177 2/3 innings between the Yankees and Blue Jays last year, so he can certainly still help a rotation. The Phils are looking for a left-handed rotation piece after already losing out on Patrick Corbin, who signed with the division-rival Nationals.
Mets Checking In On J.A. Happ
Nov. 26, 2018
.The New York Mets have checked in on big free-agent starting pitchers, including J.A. Happ. It could be a sign that they are serious about trading starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard this winter. The southpaw Happ, who is 36 years old, had a fine season in 2018 and was even better when he was traded to the Yankees from the Blue Jays in the second half. Despite his age, he still has decent strikeout upside and should be attractive to those in mixed leagues, depending on where he winds up.
Twins Interested In J.A. Happ
Nov. 7, 2018
.The Minnesota Twins are interested in free-agent starting pitcher J.A. Happ, according to a source. The veteran left-hander accumulated 17 wins in 2018 and had a nice 3.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 193 strikeouts in 177 2/3 innings over 31 starts. He was even better in the second half after he was traded from the Blue Jays to the Yankees. Despite his age (36), Happ still has swing-and-miss stuff and could land a decent deal on the open market. Moving to a pitcher-friendly environment like Minnesota and out of the tough American League East would make him even more attractive at the back end of fantasy rotations in mixed leagues.
Blue Jays Interested In J.A. Happ Reunion
Nov. 6, 2018
.The Toronto Blue Jays are interested in signing free-agent starting pitcher J.A. Happ, who they traded to the Yankees over the summer, according to sources. The left-handed veteran went 10-6 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 over 20 starts with Toronto last year, but he was noticeably better in the Bronx after the trade. He had 17 wins overall and an ERA under 4.00, and the 36-year-old can still miss bats, making him worth a spot in the back end of your rotation in mixed leagues. Happ will surely have other suitors, but it might be in his best interest to leave the loaded American League East division.
Yankees Interested In Re-Signing J.A. Happ
Nov. 5, 2018
.The New York Yankees have expressed interest in re-signing starting pitcher J.A. Happ, according to general manager Brian Cashman. The 36-year-old Happ was great for the Yankees after being acquired from the Blue Jays, compiling a 2.69 ERA and 4.21 FIP in 11 starts over 63 2/3 innings. The performance level was exactly what we needed. He put himself in a good position as a free agent. I dont know whats going to happen when the dust settles. Only he does and his agent. But yeah, he would be on the list in having interest in retaining," Cashman said. Despite his advanced age Happ remains valuable in mixed leagues because of his high strikeout rate. Moving out of the American League East and into a more favorable pitcher's park would be best for Happ's 2019 fantasy value.
J.A. Happ Available In Relief In Game 4
Oct. 9, 2018
.New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ is available to pitch in relief in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday. Happ had a disaster of a start in Game 1 on Friday, allowing five earned runs on four hits in just two innings of the loss. Even if Happ doesn't come on in relief on Tuesday, Masahiro Tanaka would likely start a deciding Game 5 back in Boston on Thursday if New York forces one.
J.A. Happ To Start Game 1 Of ALDS
Oct. 4, 2018
.New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ has been named the starter for Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Friday. Happ was very solid for the Bronx Bombers after they traded for him, going a perfect 7-0 with a 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 8.9 K/9 over 11 starts. Overall, he was 17-6 with a 3.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 193 K's in 177 2/3 innings over 31 starts. The veteran southpaw faced Boston a total of four times, allowing 17 hits (two home runs) and 11 runs while walking six and striking out 29 over 22 2/3 innings for a 1.99 ERA. He faced them twice while with New York, with both coming last month, and he held them to four earned runs in 12 innings. Despite his success against the best hitting lineup in baseball this year, Happ will be a risky DFS play on Friday.
Happ will take the hill for Game 1 of the ALDS against Boston on Friday.

J.A. Happ Stymies Red Sox In No-Decision
Sep. 18, 2018
.New York Yankees starter J.A. Happ was originally scheduled to make his second start in a Yankees uniform against the archrival Boston Red Sox but would be placed on the DL beforehand. On Tuesday night, however, he finally took the mound as a Yankee against the Red Sox and did quite well. The 35-year-old went six strong, allowing just one run on four hits and three walks. Happ also struck out six, but would eventually earn a no-decision, as he exited with his club trailing by a run. While Happ didn't earn a win, he had himself another sensational outing, continuing to remain a serious option to start the A.L. Wild Card game, although Masahiro Tanaka appears the obvious choice.

J.A. Happ Remains Undefeated With Yankees
Sep. 11, 2018
.Beginning the last stretch of a nine-game road trip, the New York Yankees kicked off their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins with a win. On the mound was J.A. Happ, the veteran starter acquired before the trade deadline. Happ, who went six scoreless innings en route to his 16th win of the year, appears to be one of his club's best options to start the A.L. Wild Card game next month. Since arriving in the Bronx in late July, the 35-year-old has won six of his eight starts, earning no-decisions in his other two. At this point, Happ and Masahiro Tanaka appear the likeliest candidates for the dreaded Wild Card game, which the Yankees seemed destined for.
J.A. Happ Brilliant In Oakland No-Decision
Sep. 5, 2018
Coming off a rough home start against the Detroit Tigers his last time out, New York Yankees starter J.A. Happ bounced back in a huge way. Taking on the Oakland Athletics in a pivotal AL Wild Card matchup, the 35-year-old allowed just one run on two hits in six innings of work, hitting a batter, walking another and striking out five. Happ threw just 78 pitches, clearly able to go further into the game had manager Aaron Boone allowed him. The former Toronto Blue Jay has been sensational since arriving in New York, going 5-0 with a 3.10 ERA in seven starts with his new club. He's recorded five quality starts thus far with the Yankees.

J.A. Happ Has Worst Outing With Yankees
Aug. 30, 2018
Since being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays last month, New York Yankees starter J.A. Happ has been incredibly reliable, winning each of his first five starts with the club. On Thursday, however, his streak would end as he was pounded by the Detroit Tigers. Eventually taking a no-decision, the 35-year-old surrendered five runs on 10 hits, giving up multiple leads that his offense had provided him. While this could simply be a blip on the radar, Happ's confidence surely took a hit as his ERA rose to 4.00 on the season.

J.A. Happ Dominant In Win Against Rays
Aug. 14, 2018
The New York Yankees are continually being rewarded for their acquisition of starter J.A. Happ from the Toronto Blue Jays last month. The 35-year-old pitched like an ace against the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday night, going seven shutout innings in a 3-1 victory. Happ allowed just one hit, walking four and striking out four in the 106-pitch performance. He's now won all three games that he's started with the Yankees, having gone at least six innings each time out, posting quality starts each time and allowing four runs in 19 innings of work. While the club currently has worries over Luis Severino, the arrivals of Lance Lynn and Happ have been much-needed boosts.
J.A. Happ Returns With Quality Start, Win
Aug. 9, 2018
Following his New York Yankees debut, J.A. Happ was set to pitch in Fenway Park against the Red Sox as part of a pivotal, four-game divisional set. Instead, he landed on the DL with hand, foot and mouth disease. On Thursday night, however, he finally made his second start with the Yankees and it would be a victorious one. Taking on the Texas Rangers, the 35-year-old posted a quality start, going six innings and allowing three runs while striking out nine. Happ's start continues a recent trend of quality results from the Yankees rotation, as the club has now won four straight in the aftermath of a devastating four-game sweep in Boston.

Aug. 2, 2018
New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) will go on the disabled list on Thursday after contracting hand, foot and mouth disease. Happ should only miss his start this weekend against the Red Sox. The veteran left-hander is 11-6 on the year with a 4.05 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and very useful 9.9 K/9 in 21 starts. It's unclear who will fill in for Happ this weekend, but it could be Luis Cessa. Cessa wouldn't be a good streamer choice against the powerful Red Sox lineup.
Yanks Optimistic J.A. Happ Can Make Next Start

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is "still optimistic" that starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) can make his next start Saturday against the Red Sox. Happ's illness isn't serious -- Noah Syndergaard recently just missed one start with the same illness -- but you probably wouldn't want to use the lefty a less than full strength against the best offense in baseball, even if he was solid against KC in his first start in pinstripes over the weekend.

J.A. Happ Has Successful Yankees Debut
Jul. 29, 2018
Finally making his New York Yankees debut Sunday afternoon, J.A. Happ defeated the Kansas City Royals for a successful first start. The 35-year-old went six innings, allowing just one run on three hits. The run came in his final inning of work when the left-hander surrendered a solo home run. While the strength of the opposing team must come into consideration, the performance was a solid one for Happ in his debut with his new club. Brought on to be the No. 5 starter, performances like these will loom large, especially with his next start scheduled to come at Fenway Park against the Red Sox.
J.A. Happ Making Yankees Debut Sunday
Jul. 27, 2018
After being acquired via trade from the Toronto Blue Jays, J.A. Happ will make his New York Yankees debut Sunday afternoon in the Bronx against the Kansas City Royals. The 35-year-old, widely regarded as the best pitcher available before the trade deadline expires, will make his final start in the month of July, a month that has seen him record his worst numbers of the season. Happ made a start against the Royals earlier this season, surrendering four runs in six innings, but earning a win. He's made eight starts at Yankee Stadium in his career, going 4-1 with a 3.94 ERA. The Yankees find themselves five games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East.

Updating a previous report, the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays have a trade agreement for J.A. Happ in place. Talks between the two clubs have intensified the past few days, and while the details of the trade remain to be seen, infielder Brandon Drury has been named as a key part of the package going to Toronto. Stay tuned for the full details of the official trade deal.
Blue Jays Want To Trade J.A. Happ Before Saturday
Jul. 26, 2018
The Toronto Blue Jays have made it clear that they'd like to move starting pitcher J.A. Happ before his next start on Saturday against the White Sox. The Yankees are believed to be in the pole position, but there are other teams interested in Happ. One way or another, the Yankees will bolster their rotation. Happ is 10-6 this year with a 4.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 130 K's over 114 innings. He had a rough patch in late June and early July, but he bounced back with nine strikeouts and one run allowed to Baltimore his last time out. Happ's fantasy value wouldn't be affected all that much by a move to the Bronx.
Blue Jays Want Justus Sheffield, Clint Frazier For J.A. Happ
Jul. 25, 2018
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ is one of the bigger names left on the trade market, and it seems his team wanted some big prospects in return for him. According to Jon Heyman, the Jays — while in talks with the New York Yankees — originally wanted either starting pitcher Justus Sheffield or outfielder Clint Frazier in a potential trade package for Happ — or even both. The Yankees reportedly saw the price as too high, and have expressed hesitance at parting with their premier prospects in all their trade talks this season. Frazier has struggled with injury but has proven to be productive in the majors, while Sheffield is seen as a future top-of-the-rotation starter. Talks are still continuing between the two ball clubs, and it will be interesting to see who the Yankees are willing to part with if a trade is completed.
