J.A. Happ not sure what happened, but doesn’t want to offer any excuses

Mariners pitcher might be on trading block before July 31 deadline

Mariners starting pitcher J.A. Happ will be a free agent after this season, and his name has surfaced as a possible trade candidate before the July 31 trade deadline if the Mariners part with some of their players.

But Happ, 32, said he hasn’t focused on any of that talk.

“It’s not really on my radar,” he said. “I think if something happens, it will happen. But I’m not worried about that.”

Whatever trade value Happ has this season wasn’t helped by his performance Saturday.
