The return for that better blow me across the room - or it's almost lights out for me and baseball for the next...I dunno decade.

I say that especially because my interest has been waning for the last 5 years+.

Or if hes going to the Yanks/Sox Wells better packaged with him. I would take alot less in return to get rid of that contract aswell.

Can't believe it's gotten to the point in Toronto where they are talking about trading Halladay. Seriously, if they trade that guy, I don't know what the point of watching that team is anymore. Teams spend decades looking for an ace like him to build their whole pitching staff around him...and we're just moving him on.

If they don't get the best trade return for him in league history, where like sports media are flat out admitting that the team trading for him was fleeced to the point of embarrassment, I will start up a collection to have Ricciardi murdered in broad daylight.

But he is talking like he doesnt want to stay. They can't let him walk for nothing.

He wants to win that's why. And somehow, the Blue Jays seem to have THE WORST strength and conditioning coach in the world. Our whole goddamn rotation is on the IR...like, how can you compete in a division with the Yankees and Red Sox when all of your starting pitchers are injured?

No wonder the guy is fed up. And then they waste their money on Vernon Wells to anchor the middle of the lineup, but the guy barely has any pop in his bat. And then they expect Alex Rios to turn into Alex Rodriguez every year.

There's just a massive misuse of talent on this roster. The only positive outlook is that Hill and Lind are probably going to be perennial All-Stars and that this team is still close to .500 even though they have yet to field their real starting rotation.

I really hope they can keep him around...Halladay, McGowan, Marcum, Litsch, Romero, Cecil, Richmond, Janssen...they have some serious pitching talent to compete in this league as evidenced by the fact that despite every one was talking about their hitting game and offense early on in the season, no one was talking about the fact that the Jays were leading the league in team ERA.

You take Halladay out of that equation, yikes!

But there not winning with Halladay anyways. Trade him for good young spects and try to be like the Rays in a couple years. Its not just Doc either, Rolen and Scutaros values will never be higher then they are now.
