Quite the shy guy, no? Seriously, get him on the field and go get Halladay - today!— dksurf- If people haven't noticed...other teams are in on Halladay. Maybe it's time we start looking elsewhere. Maybe talk to the Mariners.— chase2kspc
- Get this deal done ! Then ( sorry I love Happ ) but get Pedro signed, so we can put Happ in the deal to get Halladay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— Will.i.Am
Comment removed.- Chase--what other teams? There's only one speculated team after Halladay--the Angels--do they have the goods that it's going to take to get him? And will the Blue Jays deal him to another AL team?— bobbyuk
- Comment removed.
- bobbyuk: You must be kidding. For sure the Dodgers are after Halladay! The LA Times has been screaming for the Dodgers to get him for the last two weeks.— pjlay
- When reading a PHILLY paper, yes it does revolve around the Phillies!— donny05
- The eagerness to deal Happ, arguably the Phils' best pitcher at this moment, is strange.— Delaware Jim
- The Dodgers are not "in" on Halladay. They'd have to give up Billingsley or Kershaw, which is not going to happen.— UncleEddie
- Forget Bedard! Get the Doc!— BaseballinReading
- Watch the Dodgers or the stinkin' Mets get Halladay.— SlinkTMP
- If all it takes is Carrasco, Donald, Marson and Madson I say do it now! With this deal the Phils get to keep Brown, Taylor, Happ AND Drabek!— James TL
- If Pedro is good he is going to be so much fun to root for.— ktdb05
I seriously doubt the Jays will trade a guy they "don't really want to trade" to a team consistently ahead of them in their own division. So, at least, take the Red Sox and Yanks off the list. Halladay wants to go to a team that has a great chance of winning, if he approves a trade, so take the White Sox off the list, too. So, it's Dodgers, Angels, Cards, Phils.
