To get Roy Halladay it will be this upcoming week. \u00a0The Phillies have two more games against Arizona one tonight and one tomorrow night. \u00a0After that they fly to San Fran to the Bay Area to open up a series with the Giants Thursday, Friday and Saturday. \u00a0Ironically the Toronto Blue Jays will be playing against Oakland A’s that week to. \u00a0And want to talk even more bizarre? \u00a0Both teams are staying in the SAME HOTEL. \u00a0Its like, Ok Roy trade done…walk downstairs to your new team! \u00a0LOL \u00a0But no really if there was ever a time it would be then I think. \u00a0Even though today is the DEADLINE that the Blue Jays have set.<\/p>\n
Heres to wishful thinking!<\/p>\n
Heres what Yahoo.com had to say about him<\/p>\n
Halladay on Monday afternoon here walked around with a binder under his arm, attended a mid-afternoon pitchers\u2019 meeting, plucked a piece of gum from a small bucket in the clubhouse and declined to address his status as The Only Person Anyone in Baseball is Talking About.<\/p>\n
Asked if he\u2019d heard anything from general manager J.P. Ricciardi, Halladay grinned and said, \u201cNope. Nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
And that was that.
\nWhile the official non-waiver trading deadline is 4 p.m. ET Friday, the official Halladay trading deadline is Tuesday evening, according to Ricciardi, though not a single GM in the game seems to believe he\u2019ll hold to that. Apparently we\u2019ll go at least into that final day, as Ricciardi had not approached Halladay about waiving his no-trade rights as of Monday evening.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays go from here to a weekend series in Oakland, interesting because the Philadelphia Phillies begin a four-game series in San Francisco on Thursday. Unintended but potentially convenient, the Phillies and Blue Jays will stay in the same downtown San Francisco hotel, meaning if Halladay is traded to the Phillies on Thursday or Friday he won\u2019t even have to change pillow cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
