Official Roy Halladay Thread

[Youk]

By the way, the Blue Jays traded Roger Clemens to the Yankees, in division.

I wouldn't take that as the truth. Sherman only wrote that in the past, Yankees officials have been reluctant to trade big prospects for high salaried players, such as Johan. The Yankees do have an interest in Halladay, but they will not overpay. They need something to get them up to the next level over the Red Sox, but they will not add a ton more salary AND give up the top prospects for Halladay. If the Yankees can somehow find a good medium, then they will be players. If the cost for Halladay is too high, then obviously many teams will drop out, including the Yankees.

If I'm the Yankees though, I'm not worried about saving my pitching prospects in a Halladay deal.

The Yankee would probably have to include Chamberlain, Hughes and more to get Halladay and that is probably just to much for them to give up.

They way shits going down on this, you think he would be traded at some point by the end of this week. Now he is saying that he would mind playin for a big market, playoff team in the NL. I would like the Phills to have him, but I just don't want to sell the farm Yankee style.

[Chrispy]

yeah i wasnt being serious for that being a hint, but after the yankees previous 3 games i wouldnt doubt cashman isnt thinking more about a deal.

[chazmaniandevil]

Cardinals





Rangers



Phillies







Yankees OUT



White Sox



OTHER TEAMS IN THE HUNT - ANGELS (Definitely), RED SOX (Maybe)

The Yankees will be back in it if the Red Sox start to make a move. lulz

If he ends up getting traded i'd love for him to go as far as possible, somewhere like the NL West.

I'd throw in Hughes and another pitching prospect in a second if I'm the Yankees. I want to keep Joba, because he's either going to eventually take over for Mo or he's going to continue as a decent starter.

wouldnt work, hes worth more than joba and huges with more too

[Hasselbeck]

I think for Toronto to trade Halladay in their division they would basically have to be blow away with an offer from Boston or New York.

I personally think Halladay will wind up in St. Louis or Philadelphia.. but thats just me.

[Chrispy]

If he goes to the NL im fine with a trade but if he goes to AL and its not the yankees ill be pissed.

[Chrispy]

We reported earlier that several teams have balked at the high price the Jays are reportedly asking for Roy Halladay. ESPN Insider's Keith Law offer some more.

A scout with a club interested in Halladay said that Toronto wants "three 60's" for the pitcher. In scouting parlance, that's three prospects that project to be grade 60 players in the majors, or very high level talents. According to Law, that would preclude the Phillies, but it might preclude everyone. Teams hate giving up any prospects who project as 60's or better, much less several of them. Many simply don't have that kind of value in their systems.

As Buster Olney noted earlier today, no offer has yet come close.

Obviously it's going to take more than just those two players. I'm just saying pitching wise, I'd be willing to give up Hughes and another pitching prospect, along with an offensive prospect or two, depending how they see Hughes.

[chazmaniandevil]

and im saying joba would have to be part of it, along with hughes, and austin jackson

theyre asking for 3 "60" players and the three i can think of are joba, jackson, and montero/hughes

3 "60"'s and you just named four. After announcing that they want 3 top flight prospects though, this argument doesn't matter because it's just way too much for any team.
