The Yankees approached the non-waiver Trade Deadline with the goal of bolstering their rotation via a market in which solid starting pitching was hard to come by. But the team took a chance at Toronto’s J.A. Happ, who had a collective 7.41 ERA in his last four starts prior to the trade. So far it’s paid off.
At a time when New York has needed solid outings from its starters, with Luis Severino’s recent struggles and CC Sabathia on the disabled list, Happ has more than delivered.
