Rosenthal: Jays’ Halladay all but gone in Toronto Robothalgames 2009! Coming soon! Ricciardi says the Jays will not trade Halladay if they do not receive the right offer, knowing that the team’s best chance of competing next season is with the pitcher at the top of the rotation. C’mon. Once this process starts, it’s almost impossible to stop. Rest assured, the Jays are assembling prospect lists and preparing to assign their scouts to investigate rival farm systems. Halladay is a goner. It’s just a matter of when and where. Here’s an early handicap of the Halladay ...
Fuck Off, Rosenthal
Drunk Jays Fans —
... There’s the money quote from the latest effort from an American writer to explode a tiny kernel of possibility acknowledged by JP Ricciardi that the Jays might consider maybe considering listening to an offer on Roy Halladay if they get an offer that makes sense—this time from that fucking Oompa-Loompa, Kenny Ken Kenneth Ken Kenny Rosenthal—into full-blown Halladay-on-the-block hysteria. ...

It's About The Money - A New York Yankees Blog —
Could the Jays really make super-duper-uber-stud pitcher Roy Halladay available, even to theirAL East brethren? Sure sounds like it . "We have to see what's out there," Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi says. "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." That's pretty eye-opening, no? Not to mention, it's not like Halladay would be a 3 month rental; he's signed thru 2010 (~$15.75m next year). This is not Sabathia last year, or Johan before that. Halladay's ...
No matter what Rosenthal says, Roy Halladay isn't going anywhere
Circling The Bases —
Ken Rosenthal is stirring the Roy Halladay rumor pot : They're falling out of contention. They probably cannot afford to keep Halladay when they owe outfielders Vernon Wells and Alex Rios approximately $160 million combined from 2010 to '14. And they know that Halladay would prefer to pitch for a winner anyway when he becomes a free agent after next season. Oh, and one other thing: The trade market is barren of quality starting pitchers, much less one who is a true difference-maker, one of the top five starters in the game . . . . . . Ricciardi says the Jays will not trade ...
Halladay leaving Toronto would be good news for Yanks
River Avenue Blues —
... What does this mean for the Jays? Ken Rosenthal thinks it means they’re ready to take offers for ace Roy Halladay. It’s not the first time we’ve heard Halladay speculation, but with a year and a half left on his deal the Jays will never find a bigger haul for him than they will this month. General Manager J.P. Ricciardi has said that the team’s best chance to win next year is with Halladay in the rotation, and that’s true. But is it their best long-term option? ...

Who Wants Roy Halladay?
Sportsfrog.com —
doc Toronto’s listening. MLBTR lists potential trade partners for the second best pitcher in the American League*, and I really can’t see a perfect match from the teams that MLBTR lists. If I was to pick between the Phils and Brewers, I’d obviously have to go with the Phillies, because they’d have the cash to sign Halladay after next year. Of course, that didn’t stop the Brewers from going after Carsten Charles and offering him a contract in the offseason. They just got trumped by the Yankees. If the Jays were to trade Halladay, I certainly don’t think it’s the worst ...

The Yankee Universe —
... In Ken Rosenthal’s latest, he claims that Toronto ace Roy Halladay is “all but gone” as the Blue Jays will likely trade him (I’m sure the Yankees won’t mind seeing Halladay go to another division). KR also speculates as to who the suitors will be for Halladay’s services and, surprisingly, the Yankees made the rather long list. According to KR, the “Jays will not hesitate to dangle Halladay to the Yankees and Red Sox, who will be perhaps their two most fervent suitors. A’s GM Billy Beane never rules out trading within his division. ...

The Blue Jay Hunter —
After chastising Jerod Morris via split screen on ESPN a few months back about the “power of the written word”, apparently Ken Rosenthal has forgotten all about those morals that he so passionately stands by. Just take a look at the headline from a piece he posted this morning: Jays' Halladay all but gone in Toronto I guess a few innocent comments made by J.P. Ricciardi has Rosenthal convinced that the Blue Jays are shopping Roy Halladay and that his days in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform are numbered. Ken, where did you ...

... have outscored opponents by a major-league leading 75 runs, and, as they begin to play better against teams outside of the division, will make the race even tighter. J.P. Ricciardi has built several fine rosters around run prevention in the past decade but, largely due to the strength of the division, has nothing to show for it; if only Toronto played in the National Leagu, right? And the safe bet is that the trend will continue. Which is why Ricciardi-and according to Ken Rosenthal, he plans on doing so-should explore all trade avenues for ace Roy Halladay. ...

Rosenthal: Halladay on the move
This is the only player I'd consider trading Kyle Drabek for. I'm guessing it'd probably take two of our top four (Drabek, Brown, Taylor, Knapp) and one or two from the next tier (Carrasco, Bastardo, Marson, Donald).

Should The Sox And Cubs Look Into Halladay?
Foul Balls —
... Kenny Williams should be hitting up Ricciardi's cell. That is their job after all. Now I have no doubt that both the Sox and Cubs would be incredibly interested in adding Halladay to their rosters. I mean, the guy is 141-68 with a 3.47 ERA in his career and has struck out 3.17 batters for every one he's walked (1385 Ks vs 437 walks). Oh, and he's won a Cy Young back in 2003. Should they go after him though? If so, can they even get him? I'll start with the Cubs. Here's what Rosenthal has to say about that scenario . They were all over Peavy at the winter meetings, and the ...
