Here we are in late July, and with the Phillies considering trading their future for Roy Halladay, it’s time for Sports Illustrated to bring back the same slideshow they’ve used for the last few seasons hailing the “best midseason trades ever.” Of course, Fred “Crime Dog” McGriff, David Cone, and some of the newer guys [...]

Griffey and Mariners down Halladay and the Jays

Via SoDo Mojo  |  July 29, 2009
Today, the Mariners were heading into the game against the Blue Jays still trying to get back to playing “Wak Ball”. They came into the game 7.5 games back of the division leading Angels, and were trying to pickup a game  against the best pitcher in the league in Roy Halladay. The Mariners did a good [...]

Trade deadline unspectacular (and also spectacular)

Via Bugs & Cranks  |  July 28, 2009
It’s July 28 and do you know where your Roy Halladay is? I’m sure some people are convinced he got traded to St. Louis last week, just as some are mourning the departure of Andy LaRoche in Pittsburgh. So it goes. For Red Sox fans, it’s nice not to have to deal with trade deadline madness this year. When it happened with Nomar, it was 2004 and blogs were still this...

One Fan's Opinion: The Yankees Should NOT Trade For Roy Halladay

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 30, 2009
Roy Halladay is 11-4 this year with 128 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.68. The New York Yankees currently sit in first place in the AL East with a record of 62-39 and a 3 1/2 game lead over the Boston Red Sox. This sounds like a match made in heaven right? Well I'm here to tell you that I DO NOT want Roy Halladay. I am a huge Yankee fan, and Roy Halladay is a stud pitcher. How you...

Red Sox Offer Impressive Package for Halladay

Via Fenway West  |  July 28, 2009
The Red Sox have offered Clay Buchholz, Michael Bowden, and Ryan Westmoreland for Roy Halladay according to Gordon Edes of Yahoo Sports. With an offer like that it seems like the Sox have a legit shot at landing Halladay. Say all you want about the Sox needing a bat, with Beckett, Lester, and Halladay in the rotation the team could cruise into the postseason and then they would...

BDD: Ricciardi Has No Leverage

Via Crashburn Alley  |  July 27, 2009
At Baseball Daily Digest, I use some logic to deduce the Phillies as the only logical landing spot for Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay. Comparatively, the Jays turned down the Phillies’ counter-offer of Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, Michael Taylor, and J.A. Happ, the #2, 4, 6, and 9 prospects according to BA. That offer was fair [...]

Slumping Red Sox Looking for Trade Deadline Help

Via The Big Lead  |  July 30, 2009
Boston Red Sox: “Roy Halladay, Victor Martinez, or Adrian Gonzalez? The Red Sox have a need for all of them and are still pursuing them.” Halladay is obvious - Philly wouldn’t cough up the prospects, but will Boston, now that it is 3.5 back of the Yankees, and Dice-K is on the shelf, Brad Penny [...]

JP Ricciardi's Swan Song: NOT Dealing Roy Halladay

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 30, 2009
We've all seen GM's make deals that have gotten them the pink slip from their respective teams. For Omar Minaya, it was Bartolo Colon for Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips and Grady Sizemore. For Jim Duquette, it was Victor Zambrano for Scott Kazmir. This season, it may be a non-trade that shows another GM the door. Anyone who has a remote clue about Major League Baseball knows that the...

Trade watch: Theo 'burning midnight oil'

Via Fire Brand American League  |  July 27, 2009
Tom Werner says that Theo Epstein is "burning the midnight oil" for an impact trade. The article specifically mentions Roy Halladay and Victor Martinez.Is there no middle ground for Victor Martinez? As NESN.com rounds up, the Indians reportedly rejected a Victor Martinez-Clay Buchholz swap, and a later Justin Masterson, Michael Bowden and outfield prospect package. The...

Longtime Blue Jays Fan To Management: Your Product Just Plain Sucks

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 29, 2009
I have been a Toronto Blue Jays fan since I was a boy. I have been to hundreds of games over the course of my life and stuck by the team through the best and worst of times. Of all those years I have to say that the worst of times is right now. The yahoos at the helm of both the team and the Rogers Centre are running the whole experience of a day at the ballpark into the ground....

A Letter from the National League to the American League

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 27, 2009
Dear American League, Well, it's been a little more than a month and I still haven't heard back from you since I wrote to you before the All-Star break.  That's cool, I've been busy too...  Congrats on winning the All-Star game by the way.  I still can't believe Crawford made that catch.   Okay, seriously, American League, why do you have to do this to me...
