Thursday’s Version of Roy Halladay Rumors

The Roy Halladay market tends to keep growing as interest increases around the league. The Blue Jays are in search of young talent that will contribute to their franchise growth. Who will offer the Jays’ the best package deal in the Halladay Sweepstakes? We will soon find out!

Joel Sherman of SI.com explains why trading the ace pitcher will benefit everyone involved. “It is simply just the wrong place and time for Halladay to be in Toronto any longer.”

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports – The Angels and Cardinals are among the teams interested in Roy Halladay, but rival executives are skeptical that either club can produce a strong enough package to land the Blue Jays’ ace.

Foster’s Daily – Adding Martinez isn’t expected to prevent the Phillies from pursuing All-Star Roy Halladay. The Toronto Blue Jays are listening to offers for the 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner, and Philadelphia already has expressed strong interest.

Halladay was the Blue Jays’ first draft selection in the 1995 Major League Baseball Draft, the 17th pick overall, and has played for the team since 1998. On April 6, Halladay made his team-record seventh straight Opening Day start for Toronto, defeating the Detroit Tigers before a near-capacity crowd at Rogers Centre.
