NEW YORK -- Left-hander J.A. Happ thought that he would be traded in the days leading up to Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, but he was anxious about where he would ultimately end up. When he found out on Thursday that he would be joining the Yankees, he felt "excitement and relief."
"I like to compete, and there's probably no better stage to do that. So I'm really excited about it," Happ said on Saturday. "I've been traded before, and I can handle that part of it, but things are a little different now with a family, so the logistics of all that, I was a little anxious about it.
