The Blue Jays have stepped up their efforts to deal first baseman Lyle Overbay, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Overbay, 32, is hitting .266/.372/.463 on the season and he continues to play slightly above average defense at first base. He's under contract for $7MM this year and the same amout in 2010. FOX Sports says Overbay has some no-trade protection.

Bondy: Omar needs to take a Halladay

Via NY Daily News  |  July 29, 2009
You want to get rid of the bad talk, the bleak forecasts, the sense of a franchise adrift? It will take more than a four- or five-game winning streak to do that. You get Roy Halladay, everything is different.

Extra Boost Could Help Braves

Via BravesBlast  |  July 29, 2009
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 [...]

Roy Halladay Deal: One Less Horse But a Few More Colts

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 28, 2009
As a former employee of the Blue Jays and "die-hard" (though I hate that term, it's overused), I'm a little possessive of my Blue Jays, both the players and the franchise itself, which I do not wish to see go the way of the Expo/Dodo. It's like the age-old gambling argument: Do you bet with your head or with your heart? The head (former employee, pragmatist...

Roy Halladay still in play for Rangers, but Jays want Derek Holland, others

Via Star Telegram  |  July 30, 2009
A trade for Roy Halladay is still being considered as the deadline nears.

Is it possible for Ruben to still bring in Halladay?

Via We're the Team to Beat  |  July 30, 2009
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. I [...]

Add Downs to lefties that interest Rockies

Via All Things Rockies  |  July 30, 2009

Downs has roughly $600,000 remaining on this salary this year and $4 million next season. Not sure what the Blue Jays would want in return because they have so [...]

Yankees facing race for ace against Sox

Via NY Daily News  |  July 29, 2009
Both the Yankees and Red Sox have issues to address in their starting rotations, but the prospect of keeping Roy Halladay away from the other team could play as much into the situation as anything for the Blue Jays.

Opinion: Lee, not Halladay, was right fit in Philly

Via MSNBC  |  July 29, 2009
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.

Roy Halladay to the Rangers? Interesting, But I Doubt It

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 30, 2009
It's been very quiet on the Roy Halladay trading front for a while, but one team still has interest—the Texas Rangers. 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." Wouldn't a trade to the Rangers be interesting? A team that has come out of nowhere, has very little...
