Could Toronto Deal Halladay? 

Post#1 » by LittleOzzy » Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:29 am

There has been some speculation that the Jays could deal ace righthander Roy Halladay for the right price. Halladay leads the American League in wins (10) and innings (103) and ranks fifth in ERA (2.53). He had been scheduled to pitch tonight, but a sore groin will force him to miss his turn.

"That really makes me mad," deadpanned Phils manager Charlie Manuel. "I was really looking forward to seeing him pitch."

Righthander Scott Richmond will pitch for the Jays tonight against Jamie Moyer.

This is such nonesense. I saw the headline on the WT but wasn't going to bother posting it. Ignoring the fact that he's injured, there's no way Toronto deals him while the team is anywhere near a playoff spot, and even then it's highly unlikely.

This is just some beat writer with nothing else to talk about.

There's some "speculation" going around that I could or could not be actually "speculating" about "speculation". Stay tuned to find out.

Damn vultures in the opposing media....Halladay isn't going anywhere, this team has no reason to trade him. JP has always said we're attempting to re-sign him this winter.

If the Jays trade Halladay every single person in the organization needs to be fired and run out of Canada.

Oh and i'll never watch another Jays game in my life

The writer must have googled "trade Halladay" and found some links from earlier in the year, which he didn't click to read thru.

this didn't even deserve to be posted LittleO - shame, shame. And RealGM had it as a wiretap headline as well. The Philly Inquirer went bankrupt and has steadily gone down the s**thole since then, and this is only a blurb. Time waster.
