Anyone else get the sense that the Blue Jays screwed up the Roy Halladay business? They've had him out there forever, no deals are happening, and the sense is that they're asking too much. Then, either as a result or by happy accident, Cliff Lee, Scott Kazmir (maybe), Jarrod Washburn and Bronson Arroyo all come on the market. Sure, Halladay is better than all of them and stands as a much better choice of guy around which to build a ballclub, but this is the time of year when teams are looking for short term boosts at the lowest possible prices. In light of that, and in light of all of the other available options, I can't imagine anyone wants to pay the Jays what they're reportedly asking. It's almost as if the Jays don't want to trade Halladay.
Halladay continues to go nowhere; other pitchers on the move

Toronto sports team screwing something up? never :D
I don't think the Jays want to trade him. I think they were looking for a way to restock their farm system/get some cheap young talent. All I ever heard J.P. say is that he will listen, and he needs to be blown away to make the move.
Who are they kidding. They want a king's ransom and if they don't get it, no sweat. A waste of time for the Phillies and any other club that was suckered into this debate. I wouldn't trade J A Happ even up for this 32 year old pitcher. Than they also want the best of the prized (and they have many) young talent in the Phils farms system. Drop Dead!!
You wouldn't trade J.A Happ straight up for the best pitcher in baseball? I'm glad you aren't my teams GM.....
