If you can get an extension on Doc, I'd consider parting with Castro. Am I nuts? http://is.gd/500wt #cubs (via @harrypav); Not at all. 11/21/2009 |

Blue Jays Contacted Cubs About Halladay
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
... The Blue Jays want to move Roy Halladay this offseason and have contacted the Cubs about a potential trade, according to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat. However, it's unlcear if the Cubs have room for another $15.75MM in payroll. Plus, they'd have to be willing to part with top prospects, such as shortstop Starlin Castro, to obtain the Jays' ace. ...
Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Halladay, Bradley
The Cub Reporter (TCR) | A Chicago Cubs Blog —
- Muskat blogged that the Blue Jays contacted the Cubs about Roy Halladay.
...there's a catch. He's owed $15.75 million in 2010, and the Blue Jays
want some of the Cubs' top prospects. No. 1, the team can't take on
Halladay's salary. The Blue Jays apparently have a wish list and Milton
Bradley is not on it. A player like highly regarded shortstop Starlin
Castro most likely is, and the Cubs don't want to part with him,
especially since they might only have Halladay for one year.
A good time to show ...
Report: Jays discuss Halladay with Cubs
Circling The Bases —
[image] MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reported Friday that the Blue Jays initiated contact with the Cubs on a potential Roy Halladay deal. Muskat doesn't believe anything will happen with the Cubs in that regard, but, if true, it's still awfully interesting that the Jays are calling around to discuss Halladay with other teams. That suggests a deal is a lot more likely to take place than if they were just sitting back and waiting for the Yankees, Red Sox and others to come to them. Chicago wouldn't work for Halladay given the team's needs. The Cubs already employ three starting ...

Friday Rumours
Drunk Jays Fans —
... MLB.com’s Carrie Muskat is reporting that the Jays are actively shopping Roy Halladay, having offered him to the Chicago Cubs. “One thing the Blue Jays did make clear to the Cubs is they want to move Halladay this offseason,” she says, adding that highly regarded SS prospect Starlin Castro is likely high on the Jays’ wish list. Adding so much payroll might not make it feasible for the Cubs, but I have no doubt that it’s true that the Jays are going to do whatever they can this winter to make a deal happen. ...
Cubs Get Called About Halladay; Milton Update
Talking Chicago Baseball - A Cubs and White Sox MLB blog —
... Another day, another potential blockbuster rumor with little chance of happening. Cubs.com is reporting that the Blue Jays called the Cubs about potentially making a deal for Roy Halladay. Normally a report like this would cause a ton of excitement, but the Cubs are in such poor financial shape that it probably cannot happen. His $15.75 million salary in 2010 would be way too much for the Cubs to take on right now, and it really is too bad. ...

Blue Jays talking Halladay with Dodgers?

... . While Brown acknowledged that the two sides were talking, he later cited a source close to the two teams saying that a deal is "highly unlikely" as of now. This comes on the heels of another report from Carrie Muskat of MLB.com, who writes that the Blue Jays initiated conversation with the Cubs in regards to Halladay . Though Chicago doesn't look like a likely landing spot, the most interesting thing to take from Muskat's piece is that Toronto "made it clear that they want to move Halladay this offseason." New general manager Alex Anthopoulos' early aggressiveness speaks ...
Cubs probably won't be a fit for Halladay
Circling The Bases —
... , according to major league sources. Halladay is owed $15.75 million in 2010, but the Cubs already have $42.375 million tied up in Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster and Ted Lilly. Alfonso Soriano and Kosuke Fukudome are too expensive to move in a trade while Aramis Ramirez is too valuable. Derek Lee, who makes $13 million next season, would drum up at least some interest coming off a bounce-back season, however he has a full no-trade clause. On Friday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com had basically the same conclusion , saying the Cubs can't take on Halladay's salary, while also noting ...
