The Angels remain interested in re-signing their free-agent right-hander, according to major-league sources. Plan B, if Lackey signs with another club, could be a renewed effort to trade for Blue Jays right-hander Roy Halladay. Either way, securing a top-of-the-rotation starter appears to be a ...

... In fact, he wrote an entire column today speculating that the Angels could be interested in Roy Halladay because guess what . . . John Lackey wants a shitload of money, probably far more than he's worth. He spends paragraphs writing about the Jays need for a middle infielder, the availability of Mike Napoli or Jeff Mathis, and even how Alex Anthopoulos may be interested in prospects that are further away from the big show than J.P. Ricciardi was. It's all rampant speculating without the slightest bit of actual reporting. ...

... - 2010 Veterans Committee Announcement Gene Autry owned the Angels from their birth in 1961 until his death in 1998.

Circling The Bases —
... for him. The Red Sox figure to get back into the chase for Halladay is that's the case. The Phillies still have the young talent to pull off a Halladay acquisition, though they may run into budget issues at some point. Also, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal believes the Angels could again target Halladay, particularly if they fail to re-sign free agent John Lackey. It makes all kinds of sense for the Jays to trade Halladay now. They're big long shots for 2010 anyway, and there may well be more quality starters available at the trade deadline next year than there are in free ...
