Earlier Wednesday night, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported that the Yanks were one of two front-runners for Happ’s services.
The Milwaukee Brewers are the other so-called “front-runner” while the Chicago Cubs have also checked in Happ’s teammate, Marcus Stroman, and some believe they may have dropped Happ’s name as a man of interest as well.
