What purpose would a lower in the rotation guy serve? The difference between Happ and some #4 starter is nothing, especially for a possible 90 win team. It's a huge price to give up, there's a lot of risk involved, but there's absolutely a huge payoff also involved, the biggest of them all, winning a World Series and having a strong 3 year window to do it.
One thing we can all agree on, get the extension sign and make this official so we can actually debate it and know all the details.
