HBT: Blue Jays extend lefty Happ through 2014

It?s been quite a week for J.A. Happ. On Tuesday afternoon the 30-year-old left-hander was officially named the Blue Jays? fifth starter. And now comes word that his pockets are getting a little fatter.

MLB.com beat writer Gregor Chisholm reports that the Jays have signed Happ to a two-year contract extension worth $8.9 million. That sum includes his already-locked-in $3.7 million salary for 2013 and adds on a $5.2 million salary for the 2014 season.

Happ posted an ugly 4.79 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 144 2/3 innings last summer between Houston and Toronto. But he has a 1.89 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 14/3 K/BB ratio in 19 innings this spring.

The new extension also carries a $6.7 million club option for the 2015 campaign.
