EvilJester99 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 No chance we could get him though..... Jays Quietly Discussing Halladay? By Tim Dierkes [July 24 at 11:24am CST] According to Dan Graziano of the Newark Star-Ledger: Roy Halladay is apparently unhappy in Toronto and has let management know it, and management has apparently responded by doing some quiet surveying of teams (such as St. Louis and the Dodgers) that are far, far away from the AL East in an effort to see what it could get for the 2003 Cy Young Award winner. Apparently, the returns other teams are getting for top-talent pitchers such as CC Sabathia, Rich Harden and Erik Bedard has inspired the Blue Jays to at least find out what it could get for one of the best pitchers in the American League. It remains unlikely that they'd deal him, but you never know. Halladay has been ridiculously good this year, and he is signed through 2010 at a below-market rate. Doc is the face of the franchise, though, and if anything the Jays might try to extend him further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Not a chance in hell. It would be sweet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Here's the question you have to answer first. Would you give up either Danks or Quentin to pull off that deal? Because without one of those 2 I can't imagine we'd have the bullets right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Dream on, unless they would like to Doc for PK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose some salary off our book like Count, Thome, Uribe, Crede and our team is better with Halladay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawksox13 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd have to think a deal like Fields, Poreda, Broadway, and Floyd would get the job done. And I'd personally be all over that deal. To lock up a true ace like Halladay for three years is priceless. I think a rotation of Halladay, Buehrle, Vazquez, Danks, and Contreras would be pretty tough. Contreras is the obvious weakness here, but he's going to be just impossible to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an issue at all financially, the money is and would be there to pay him, he'd just be impossible to acquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd LOVE to see the Brewers somehow acquire Halladay, they should still have the necessary talent to pull off such a coup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Halladay being on this team would be ridiculous. We just don't have the assets to do it. Yes, we have some high potential guys in the lower minors, but the Blue Jays would want as much of a "sure-thing" as they could get, and we don't have that to offer prospect-wise.

Heads22 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd pretty much cry for joy if we somehow got him, and I'd deal anything in our minor league system, and probably half the players on this team for him, but I don't see it happening.

Really not sure who that could be. None of their prospect lists were topped by anyone other than LaPorta and Parra coming in to this season, and none of their SS guys are lighting it up this year as far as I can see. Was it Alcides Escobar? That's my guess if you heard something like that, but I don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 If the Brewers somehow land Halladay I dont know how they arent instantly the favorite to reach the world series if not win it. They would have the best trio since Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc has been the biggest horse in the league for quite some time. If you wouldn't give up Floyd for a Roy Halladay signed under market value for 3 years, you've lost your mind.
