\n J.A. Happ took a shellacking Saturday before he even stepped on the Yankee Stadium mound.<\/p>\n

Just moments before the Yankees and Mets resumed their Subway Series<\/a>, Brian Cashman unloaded on his starting pitcher in response to the veteran left-hander\u2019s recent insinuations that the Yankees were manipulating their starting rotation to prevent Happ from vesting his $17 million option for next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did not have a good season last year. He had a poor season last year, and he\u2019s gotten out of the gate not very successful for us this year,\u201d Cashman said of Happ, who was making his first start Saturday since August 5. \u201cWe\u2019re certainly hopeful he can step up and pitch well for us today and help us win a game<\/a>, but it\u2019s pure baseball.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get a chance to play more with positive performance and you get the chance to play less with negative performance. It\u2019s as simple as that. We\u2019re not trying to complicate anything. Our job is to try to win baseball games and put the best players out there on the field under those circumstances, nothing more, nothing less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Happ, who posted a 4.91 ERA last year and took a 6.39 mark into Saturday\u2019s start, drew Cashman\u2019s ire Tuesday when he said it was \u201cpretty clear\u201d why the Yankees were starting him fourth out of their extended break that resulted from the Mets\u2019 two coronavirus cases wiping out last weekend\u2019s Subway Series. When a reporter asked Happ if he thought his schedule tied into his vesting option, the pitcher replied, \u201cYou guys [in the media<\/a>] are pretty smart. It doesn\u2019t take too much to figure out, sort of, what could be going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cashman, referring to the five-day break that included the postponed Subway Series, a scheduled off day and a rainout in Atlanta, said, \u201cThat time frame had us reset the clock. So \u2026 you\u2019re going to start your best starters and give them the ball as often as you possibly can in this shortened season. And unfortunately because of how we evaluate our rotation \u2014 and I think objectively how anybody would look at based on J.A. Happ\u2019s performance last year and this year so far in the regular season, he slots toward the back of that rotation. And that\u2019s all we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original terms of the two-year, $34-million deal that Happ signed in December 2018 called for the vesting option to activate with 27 starts or 165 innings pitched. In this COVID-shortened season, those numbers would be prorated to 10 starts or 61\u200a\u00b9\/\u2083 innings, However, Happ\u2019s contract was one of a handful that didn\u2019t get blessed by a collectively bargained deal last month between the players and owners, meaning that his options wouldn\u2019t necessarily vest at the prorated numbers. The Yankees and Happ could renegotiate new terms, or Happ could file a grievance to try to get his money.<\/p>\n

Either way, Happ appears very unlikely to reach his desired targets. Saturday marked just his fourth start, and he began the day with 12\u200a\u00b2\/\u2083 innings pitched as the Yankees\u2019 season reached the 30th game, its halfway point.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
