Phillies anyone? Maybe they can get a pitcher to win at home:laugh:

 

[Chrispy]

if the yankees got him, imagine C.C., Burnett, Doc, Joba and Petite lol Dirty :jizz:

I don't see the Blue Jays trading in their own division; they'll have to face him atleast 3-4 times a year & that's something NO team wants on their schedule.

I say he ends up somewhere in the NL; The Mets don't have the pieces to acquire him, tough break. (lawlz)

I'm guessing he'll end up on the Phillies, Dodgers, Cardinals or Cubs.

I read somewhere that they would consider dealing him to the division. Of course the trade will have to involve a lot more though.

Austin Jackson, Ian Kennedy & a gift card. lolz

 

[Obst]

There you go Philly make an offer.

If Amaro fucks this up and signs Pedro instead....:club:

Boston has the prospects for a deal but I can't see Toronto trading a great pitcher to a team within their division.

 

[zack54attack]

Alfonso Soriano and Rich Harden for Halladay.

I'd love it.

Vazquez, Escobar and Shafer for Halladay? I can see it now.

Halladay-Hudson-Hanson: Preparation H.

I could maybe see a three way trade come in. Boston Sends Penny somewhere for a prospect. Then Boston sends that prospect along with Buchholz, and maybe Lowrie, Bowden, or Bard (either Bard or Bowden not both) to Toronto and Halladay comes to the Red Sox.

But doubt that happens because Epstein would probably not want to trade all his pitching prospects

But I can hope........

 

[T.Dot]

Halladay ain't going unless it's a monster offer for a top prospect

 

[chazmaniandevil]

two monster prospects actually, since he is going to be a type A

Right now, the team most aggressively searching for a front-line starting pitcher is the Philadelphia Phillies, who no doubt would covet Halladay for their particular park for his ability to generate ground balls and missed swings -- he has a ground ball/fly ball ratio of 1.30, to go along 98 strikeouts in 116 innings this season. The question about the Phillies -- as it is with most teams these days, when the value of young players has never been higher -- is whether they would be willing to give up what the Jays would require in trade. - Buster Olney

Amaro didn't return phone calls yesterday, but one member of his inner circle said the Phils were serious about pursuing Halladay, who has a career record of 141-68, and described the prospect of getting him as "exciting."

I can still imagine, right?

the yankees actually have some good prospect down in the minors and the first thing the jays will ask is for Hughes and Joba, so it wouldnt happen but if they wanted halladay they could land him i hope not though.

 

[Senser81]

How can anyone be a Blue Jays fan after this news? Your team won back-to-back titles not all that long ago, and now they are trying to sell off their best player. Sounds like Royals/Pirates all over again.

Yeah i wouldnt want to give up hughes or joba even for doc, i dont mind giving up players in the minors.

One source told Ed Price of MLB Fanhouse that "the Phillies are leaders at this point" in the Roy Halladay sweepstakes. However, that doesn't mean the Jays ace will be dealt. As another source points out, J.P. Ricciardi is not in a hurry to trade Halladay, so there's an equal chance he stays in Toronto.

And the haul Halladay could bring? The Erik Bedard trade (Adam Jones, George Sherrill and others) and the Dan Haren trade (Carlos Gonzalez, Brett Anderson and others) could be benchmarks.

Jon Heyman of SI.com heard from an executive who believes the Jays would hesitate to deal Halladay within their own division. Does that make the Phillies favorites?

The executives who spoke with Joel Sherman of the New York Post believe the Phillies are the frontrunners for Halladay. The Phillies want to win now and they think Halladay's ground ball-based approach would thrive in their homer-friendly park.
