The team at Reviewing the Brew has already covered why we don’t think J.A. Happ is right for the Milwaukee Brewers. However, Brewers GM David Stearns only cares what his scouts and advisers think, and rightfully so. The Brewers could be in on Happ, despite our concerns.
How much will Happ cost?
MLB Trade Rumors predicted that Happ will get a three-year deal worth $48 million. However, it’s believed that as many as 10 teams are currently chasing Happ, including the Milwaukee Brewers.
While there was speculation that Happ would get a two-year deal before the off-season started, it’s a virtual lock that at least one team will give him a contract for three years.
