MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Twins and veteran starting pitcher J.A. Happ agreed Wednesday to an $8 million, one-year contract, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
The good news for the Yankees is the Rays have lost significant pieces from their formidable starting rotation and the Red Sox are practically invisible this winter. The bad news is the Blue Jays are getting more dangerous by the day, adding George Springer to their young lineup and seemingly determined to keep spending in the free-agent market. How that all plays out should make for a fascinating season in the AL East.
The potential exchange got me thinking about if the Yankees could pull off a Castillo deal without having to trade away a big league starter. Could they do it just with prospects? The Yankees’ farm still has talent, even as it’s thinned, but could it sustain a blockbuster on its own?
