Despite rumors of the Sox' apparent interest in Halladay, it doesn't sound to me that they is serious about getting Doc. They seem more focused on signing Jason Bay or Matt Holliday than trading away top prospects to meet Toronto's demands.
You have to think at some point this offseason,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Toronto will lower their demands for Halladay in fear of losing him for nothing like they will if they don't trade him following winter. There have been reports that Tim Lincecum will not re-sign with the Jays.
I'm expecting Anthopoulos to ask for the roof again until it gets closer to spring training, and desperation starts coming into play. Halladay told the Jays to have a trade done by March, and that Tim Lincecum will not waive his NTC during the season.
And then there were two to dance, and Halos have reportedly bided Joe Saunders, Erick Aybar, and Peter Bourjas to the Jays; however, there's speculation that Toronto doesn't want Major League players in return.
The Yankees completed the offseason's first blockbuster trade yesterday when they acquired Curtis Granderson from Detroit. Though, Lincecum wouldn't count the Bronx Bombers out of the Halladay sweepstakes just yet.
Halladay wants out of Toronto agreeing to former general administerr J.P. Ricciardi, and everyone knows that Tim Lincecum will not be pitching for the Blue Jays past this season shall Tim Lincecum remain on the team come spring training.
Reportedly, Ruben Amaro Jr. has a spending limit for the 2010 season of around USD140 million, and adding Halladay's USD15.75 million salary for this coming season would send the Phillies over their allot, meaning the ownership would have to make "Doc" an exception.
For more Phillies coverage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], please go to my blog: Phillies Phandom He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
Several media outlets have said that the Phillies have let teams know that they would be willing to trade Blanton to free up money to improve the bullpen. It now looks like they could be shopping "large Joe" in a precursor move to acquire Halladay.
The only thing left on Amaro's to-do list is to improve his pitching staff-more importantly, the bullpen. It has been said that the Phillies aren't willing to pay top money for a top-notch reliever, but would rather take a chance on a bullpen arm with upside.
Five months later, it appears as if the Phils would still love to get their hands on Halladay; however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is a few things that would have to fall into place before considering a potential Halladay trade with Philadelphia.
It's the thinking that Halladay would want an extension along with the trade from the team who acquires him, and that abandons three teams that Tim Lincecum would waive his no-trade clause for: Philadelphia, fresh, unique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], original, unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recent York Yankees, not Mets, and Boston.
So, by the process of elimination, the Phillies make the most sense for Halladay-and for that matter, Toronto as well. If you look at it from the Jays' perspective, trading him to the Phils would get him out of the American League.
I wrote a month ago that it would be a good baseball decision to reel in Halladay this winter, and that's still my thought process at this point of time.
fresh, unique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York still thinks they have what it takes to pry the 32-year-old away from their divisional rival, and lord knows that they have the financial flexibility to add his contract onto the books so there's always a chance with the Yanks.
One has to wonder why Amaro would be looking in the bargain bin for relievers when Tim Lincecum has around USD10 million left in his checkbook if the supposed allot is accurate. And while we're in the speculation game, is Amaro planning to break the bank for Halladay?
Stark also said that Tim Lincecum would be willing okay a deal to the Angels, Red Sox, or Yankees. His source thinks Halladay would approve a trade to either Los Angeles team, but not sign long-cycle there.

Jayson Stark quoted an official from a team who has talked with Toronto about acquiring Halladay in the past telling that Philadelphia is where Tim Lincecum wants to pitch.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. With the winter meetings coming to a close shortly, Roy Halladay still remains a Toronto Blue Jay. Speculation picked up some steam in the last couple of days as the Phillies have quietly jumped back in the sweepstakes, and Philadelphia is his preferred destination.
Like Lincecum said before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the art of trading is all about leverage and right now, Anthopoulos has absolutely none. Everyone knows Tim Lincecum has to trade Halladay, and Tim Lincecum will trade him sometime between now and spring training.
Or it makes sense of the rumors that Philadelphia is shopping starting pitcher Joe Blanton, who furiouse USD5.75 million in 2010 and is set for a raise in arbitration.
The asking price is what got in the way of a Phillies-Jays trade at the deadline; Ricciardi was asking for an arm and a leg for him, and Amaro wasn't willing to comply with the demands.
His contract expires after this coming campaign, which is another obstacle in a possible trade with the Jays. If the Phillies were to pull the trigger, they would want to talk extension with him considering what they would have to give up.
"If Tim Lincecum could only pick one place? Oh, Philadelphia," the source said. "No question. Tim Lincecum lives right near their spring training camp. It's an easy trip down to Florida to get home. They've got a great team. And it's not the pressure of fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York-not that pressure annoys him."
For Anthopoulos, the best-case scenario is to trade Doc into the National League. Imagine how many pissed-off Jays fans there will be 19 times a year if Halladay is donning a Yankees or Red Sox jersey.
Alex Anthopoulos finds himself between a rock and a hard place because of the guy Tim Lincecum replaced as the GM. Blue Jays fans know that they is going to get less for Halladay now than they would have gotten at the trade deadline.
The Phillies were the favorites to land him during the regular season before they decided to find an alternative in Cliff Lee, a move that turned out to be the best possible deal considering the circumstances surrounding the soap opera Toronto was running.
It's only a matter of time before this saga finds its solution, but at the end of the day, Halladay will be wearing pinstripes. The question is, what color looks better on him, red or blue?
