Where Will Roy Halladay be in 2010?

It's hard to gauge Roy Halladay's value, so if I had to make a guess, it would be in Toronto, hoping that they contend in 2010...unless there out of the playoff race before the trade deadline again. The reason that the Blue Jays would keep him is that they could have a solid rotation with Halladay, Ricky Romero, and Shaun Marcum, who's expected to return next season after Tommy John surgery. At the same time, Toronto doesn't want to have the burden of paying him $15 million next season, so he's definetly on the trade market, knowing that John Lackey is the only reliable "ace" in the market.

If Toronto indeed tried to trade him again, they would get less than stellar value, much like the Johan Santana trade to the Mets, which means contenders like the Dodgers, Cardinals, Angels, and other teams could be in play. I'm guessing that the Dodgers could be that team because they don't have to give up 5 or 6 prospects as the Blue Jays were asking before the deadline, instead only giving up 3 or 4 w/o involving Matt Kemp, Clayton Kershaw, and Chad Billingsley. The Dodgers do have enough on their payroll to take part of Halladay $15 million and a chance to resign him to an extenstion.

There a slim chance he could go to the D-Backs, mostly because of prospects. Any trade involving Halladay would have to include OF Gerardo Parra and P Jarrod Parker, not Chris Young. It's too much for the D-Backs to give up for one player, knowing that there payroll has to be lower than there opening day numbers of $73 million next season. It's also a possibility that they might let Brandon Webb go via a club option, knowing that he might not be ready to start the 2010 season, so keeping Jarrod Parker is more important than trading for Halladay in their process of rebuilding this team.

If Halladay throws yet another gem this night, then i think of he locks it up. Wainwright has a competent declare in besides - yet Halladay suffered by way of a era of poor run help besides. In his 10 losses (and a couple of ND's), he's have been given a ok/BB ratio of roughly 7:a million and an era under 4.00. those type of numbers could desire to get you a minimum of a 6-4 checklist, not 0-10. think of, if the Phillies could have scored some runs in could & June for Halladay. He'd be 26-4 with an era under 2.50, and no person can question his Cy youthful status.

Most likely Toronto; Cleveland really hurt Toronto when it traded Cliff Lee, who is just as good, to the Phillies and the Phillies were able to keep J.A. Happ.

No one knows. Wait until the 2010 Baseball Season starts.

Would you believe Baltimore?

I wouldnt mind seeing him in LA. But the Jays would surely want either Ethier or Kemp if they were to do a trade. And I for one would not want to see these giys traded for ANYONE! Not even Halladay. I would however not mind seeing Loney or Martin go who I equally really like but arent as productive. Ned Coletti the Dodger GM has done a great job holding on to all of the young guys but if the price is right he should pull the trigger which Im sure he knows.

As a Dodger fan I would HATE to see Halladay on the Diamond Backs because that pitching staff would be sick.

Halladay, Haren, Webb, Scherzer, and whoever. I dont think it would happen though unless they traded Mark Reynolds or Justin Upton or Scherzer. Chris Young has not made any improvements from his rookie year and actually seems to be regressing. The guy cannot hit anything that bends.

Blue Jays.


There's zero chance for a deal with the D-Backs. They can't afford to retain him.
