Happ signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Happ pitched for the Blue Jays during the 2014 season before splitting last season between the Mariners and the Pirates. He had some home run issues with the Blue Jays last time around, but a solid finish to the 2015 season has earned him another deal with his former club. He'll likely slot in at the back end of the Blue Jays' rotation in 2016.
