Bits on a Tuesday Morning
Bluebird Banter —
... To show the bad side of being noticed, Ken Rosenthal trots out the Halladay will be traded crap again. If you are a baseball expert, shouldn't you have to get things right now and then. I hate the title too, "Halladay all but gone in Toronto". How do you jump to that conclusion? Because JP said he would listen to offers for anybody. Ummmm of course he will listen, that's his job. Can you imagine a GM hanging up on another GM because he made an offer for the wrong guy? Ohwell, I guess trading for Doc is a dream for fans of all other teams. ...

How much for Halladay?
Angels blog —
73394596CC025_Toronto_Blue_ Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi has publicly acknowledged what 29 other GMs had been crossing their fingers hoping for — he will listen to trade offers for Blue Jays ace and former Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay. Angels GM Tony Reagins will not comment in any way but the most general terms regarding trade discussions. But the Blue Jays are one of the teams he has contacted in his pre-deadline pursuit of pitching help. Halladay would immediately slot into the top of the Angels’ rotation — or any other team’s, for that matter. But dealing for Halladay ...

I'm not saying we're going to shop him. But if something makes sense, we at least have to listen. We're (leaning) more toward listening than we've ever been." It is believed the Blue Jays would prioritize getting back a shortstop and pitching in any deal for Halladay. Julio Lugo and Brad Penny. Done. Somebody call Ricciardi. Okay, seriously... to get Halladay, the Sox are going to have to include ...

Roy Halladay: Philadelphia Phillies Must, Not Should, Acquire The Ace
2 Minutes to Midnight Green —
Roy Halladay could be on the move. Ken Rosenthal first reported yesterday that the Toronto Blue Jays will listen to offers about their stud ace, Roy Halladay, speculation started to fly around the sports world as if Brett Favre was considering a comeback. ESPN picked it up and ran with it, Comcast Sportsnet ran with it as well. Just about every source for baseball did as well like they did last season with C.C. Sabathia. This time last season, Sabathia was already traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. However for weeks prior to the blockbuster between the Cleveland Indians and the Brew Crew, there were ...
Trade Rumblings: Halladay Buzz Grows As Rangers Ride Andruw
Baseball Time in Arlington —
Question: If the definition of insanity is truly doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then what does that say about the mental integrity of homer-weary Angels right-handers Ervin Santana and Rich Thompson, who combined to feed Andruw Jones high fastballs not once, not twice, but thrice during Wednesday evening's series finale in Anaheim?
Yes, that would be the same Andruw Jones who presently ranks as one of the very best fastball hitters in the majors this season on a rate basis, producing 2.29 runs above average per 100 fastballs thus far in 2009 -- his best mark since his penultimate campaign in a Braves uniform ...

Game 106: Wasted Words
Fack Youk —
... This is the first time the Yanks have played the Blue Jays since the trade rumors about Roy Halladay started swirling. The two teams had just wrapped up a four game series which the Yankees won 3 of when Ken Rosenthal wrote that article on July 7th. One of those contests took place on the 4th of July, when the Yankees scored 5 runs off of Halladay and won in extra innings (in what might be the last game started by Chien Ming Wang as a Yankee, no less). Despite the successful outcome that day, I think most Yanks fans were either excited about the slim chance of acquiring Halladay ...
