Yankees keeping eye on Halladay

With question marks behind CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett in the rotation -- even if Andy Pettitte returns -- the Yankees will monitor what happens to Roy Halladay. The Yankees have young talent and money. But their major league youth (Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes) is on the hill and the Blue Jays likely will command a position player they can control salary-wise for several years as well as a pitcher in the same position. Despite fantasizing about keeping the 32-year-old right-hander, after talking to Halladay, the Blue Jays understand that's not happening because of Halladay's strong desire to win now. In a dozen years, Halladay has never been to the postseason.

It seems that every winter, the Red Sox always have plenty to talk about with agent Scott Boras. That could again be the case, with the Boston Herald -- citing a baseball source -- reporting Friday night that Boston has expressed at least some level of interest in outfielders Matt Holliday and Rick Ankiel, as well as lefty reliever Mike Gonzalez and third baseman Adrian Beltre.

The Cubs are one of the teams the Blue Jays have contacted regarding former Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay. The Blue Jays' wish list includes some of the Cubs' top prospects. Milton Bradley apparently is not on the list.

White Sox, Jenks at odds

After a calf injury ended closer Bobby Jenks' season Sept. 22, feelings began to strain. The right-hander believed the White Sox -- based on comments made by manager Ozzie Guillen -- was being overly critical of his conditioning. Jenks, 28, stands to make $7 million to $8 million through arbitration this winter -- one reason the Sox might trade him. Have they used the conditioning issue to set the stage for trading the popular pitcher?

Why Marlins may trade Johnson

There will be no long-term contract for Marlins pitcher Josh Johnson. Not this year. And probably not ever. So said the All-Star pitcher's agent Friday. ``The Marlins sort of knew it was now or never,'' said Matt Sosnick after talks broke down over the length of the contract. Johnson wanted a four-year deal. Sosnick said the Marlins were only willing to offer three. Without a multiyear contract in place, the Marlins might be forced to trade Johnson after the 2010 season -- if not before -- in order to recoup value for him.
