It wouldn't make sense to me if they held onto him. He's going to walk after the 2010 season, so if they trade him now, at least they'll get something more than a draft pick.
Well you're fat.
U r correct... morbidly obese.
The Yankees will always try and put the best team on the field that money can buy. Why would I give another team in our division an opportunity to be that much better then us.
For the Jays sake let the Yankees buy the division, and hope we can be competitive with Boston.
I would not be surprised if the Yankees get Halladay and Bay or Holliday.

Why would they let him go??
I thought he found a home there.

Halladay is believed to favor the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies and Angels, four of the teams that would be able to give him a hefty contract extension.

Can we change the headline to the Yankee Offseason chatter thread?
You both know it's all about the Yankees...don't make me go over your heads mods.

He wants to close.
The Blue Jays were dumb not to trade Halladay in-season.
They won't get nearly the return they anticipated and they're probably best off either trading him for a realistic return or viewing it as their final year to compete and sign/trade for players knowing Halladay's salary will be coming off the books at the end of next season.
It's sickening that they'll be keeping Vernon Wells in center field for next season:
"In addition to being owed $107 million over the next six years, Wells was one of the worst center fielders in the majors last season, according to UZR (Ultimate Zone Rating)."

The Braves appear likely to trade Cy Young runner-up (shameless promoting is necessary with how big of a stickler Min0 is) Javier Vasquez for an outfielder.
Good ole JP.... thinking he can dictate the demand for Halladay
If they could get rid of Vernon they will. Look at the numbers for his contract, they are disgusting... no one will want that.
It's amazing to me how bad J.P. was at his job. I was blinded by his east coast upbringing and Red Sox connections, but man oh man, he was brutal as a general manager.
The Wells and Rios contracts are two of the worst handed out in the sport over the last decade.
Wells' is a team crippler that likely has already set the Jays back for years to come.

Those four pale in comparison to the Rios and Wells deals, but I certainly understand where you're coming from.
The Jays were always competitive in the best division in the sport and it clouded my ability to objectively grade him as a result.
I cringed when this thought came into my brain, but IMO, the Jays would be smart to entertain offers from the Yankees.
They've smartened up lately and would rather overpay on the free agent market if it means hanging onto their elite young talent, but it seems as if Halladay is the one exception to this rule.
There are rumors afloat stating that the Yankees would have no problem trading one of Hughes or Joba in addition to some other youngsters in a possible Halladay deal; they also have no problem with taking the draft picks if he chooses to leave via free agency at seasons end.
It's a better package than what the Twins got for Santana and I don't see many other teams having not only the caliber of players to strike a deal but the finances to be able to trade high quality players for a one year rental.
It's the big market teams that can afford to take a chance on him and the longer this goes on, the leverage begins to shift more and more in the oppositions favor.
If I were a Jays fan, I'd prefer a package centered around Phillip Hughes, but that's based solely on the fact that ability wise their 1a and 1b in terms of what the Yankees have to offer and Joba Chamberlain is a mega douche bag.

Derek Lowe is also on the market, but the Braves haven't found any teams willing to give up anything of value with three years and $45 million dollars still left on his deal.
The Jays would need to add more money, but at least they could get some salary flexibility and an effective innings eater who's proven capable of pitching in the American League East in the process.
