TORONTO (AP) J.A. Happ has agreed to a $36 million, three-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, returning to the team he pitched for from 2012-14.
The club announced the deal Friday night.
Happ fills another rotation spot for the AL East champions, who could lose fellow left-handers David Price and Mark Buehrle in free agency this offseason. Perhaps the biggest prize on the market, Price is expected to command a huge deal.
Earlier this month, Toronto re-signed right-hander Marco Estrada to a $26 million, two-year contract.
The 33-year-old Happ was 11-8 with a 3.61 ERA in 31 starts for Seattle and Pittsburgh last season, setting career highs with 172 innings and 151 strikeouts.
