The issue front and center on the minds of the Blue Jays' fan base is the status of ace Roy Halladay, who is eligible for free agency next offseason and a key component in Toronto's direction. Alex Anthopoulos stressed that the Jays want to keep Halladay in the fold, but the pitcher has made it no secret that his goal is to reach the postseason and play for a World Series title soon. A contract extension for Halladay is an unlikely scenario, considering that 2010 likely will be a stepping stone within a more long-term process for Toronto. It is more likely Anthopoulos will field trade offers for the pitcher this winter, and the young general manager indicated he is open to listening to proposals for any of his players.

He won't get offers as good as Riccardi got before the trading deadline, that's for sure.

I wonder if anyone offered him Kennedy, Melky, Igawa and Joba? Now that's a deal!

One injury to CC or Burnett and they will.

Igawa? Nobody is taking that albatross even in the last year of the contract.

And Kennedy coming of the anuerism isn't exactly a major selling point.

We'll put a fake moustache on him and say his name is Rocco. Teams love having a guy named Rocco on their roster.

Talk about trying to get a quarter for 4 pennies.

Wait a sec, I thought that Joba was already headed to the HOF? Did I miss something?

Well I was kidding, fo course, but Melky and Joba would be a good start. After that I can't think of any other players I'd want to add on that wouldn't trouble me.

Yes, you missed any Yankee fan saying Joba was headed to the Hall of Fame ...

I doubt that the Blue Jays will trade him in the AL East unless they get overwhelmed. Melky and Joba isn't overwhelming.

The NY media had him in the HOF that first season he pitched.

If the Yanks want Halliday all they will have to give up is Melky or Gardiner plus a top prospect. They would of course have to take Vernon Wells and that INSANE contract back. The Blue Jays wouldn't be able to turn down the chance to rid themselves of $120 mil in salary.

Of course he is. As are thousands of other baseball fans this year.

Maybe Pete Rose will be in line to get in. Either that, or he'll just setup his table for autographs, for a fee of course.

Sure they did! Likewise Shane Spencer and Cedric Durst.
