*D MLB Trade Rumors:
Jon Heyman of SI.com calls Toronto's team the "Blew Jays" because he believes GM J.P. Ricciardi blew the Roy Halladay trade talks. Here are the details and a coule other rumors:
Heyman says too much talk, too much candor and an overly steep price prevented Ricciardi from making a deal.
Heyman hears that Halladay would have approved trades to a variety of teams in the East and Midwest.
The Jays never agreed on prospects with the Rangers, but would have sent $5MM to Texas in a possible Halladay deal.
One executive says the Jays "overplayed their hand."
The Padres wanted more than Clay Buchholz, Justin Masterson and Jed Lowrie for Adrian Gonzalez.
GM Kevin Towers had a deal more or less in place to send Jake Peavy to Atlanta last offseason before the righty told the Padres he didn't want to go to Atlanta.
