All my life I have dreamt about a career in Sports; player, broadcaster, executive, any would have been great. In retrospect, I think I may have passed on GM of a major sports franchise. I wrote earlier about Roy Halladay and the need for Toronto and Philadelphia to make a deal and GMs Ruben Amaro of the [...]

Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi was still recovering from the 300 text messages, 150 e-mails, countless telephone calls, and erroneous media reports, but he was most disappointed that one of the 10 teams that showed interest in Roy Halladay didn’t meet his demands.

Now I’m just speculating and doubt that it would ever happen at this point. However, looking at the prospects we didn’t give up to get Cliff Lee, a deal for Roy Halladay is certainly possible. The Phillies still have Drabek, Happ, Brown & Taylor who are seen as the top 4 guys in our system.

Rangers president Nolan Ryan has not been quiet about their interest in Halladay. He has recently been quoted saying, "We are still actively seeking Roy Halladay."

Sporting News: Philadelphia has emerged as the clear favorite to repeat in the National League and has turned up the heat all the way from Toronto to Los Angeles. Trading for Cliff Lee makes so much sense for the Phillies that you wonder why they ever seemed so intent on acquiring Roy Halladay.

What if the rumored Adrian Gonzalez/Heath Bell to the Dodgers trade was only Part 1? What if Part 2 is the Blue Jays wanting Broxton as part of a Roy Halladay deal? Might explain the George Sherrill deal as a backup plan. Or flipping Bell to Toronto in a 3-team deal?

Yesterday afternoon’s trade deadline chat was definitely fun. What wasn’t fun was having the White Sox sneak in and get Jake Peavy. With the spotlight on Roy Halladay, I don’t remember Peavy’s name coming up once either during the discussion or on the MLB Network’s show. The good news is that for Tigers fans, Peavy probably [...]
