Roy Halladay has reportedly been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in a three-team deal that also involves Seattle. The trade is apparently contingent on him signing a contract extension, which appears likely. There is a chance this is not a three-team trade, but is rather two separate trades involving Philadelphia, one where they acquire Roy Halladay and one where they ship pitching, probably Cliff Lee, to Seattle. Caution: everything is still tentative at this point, although all indications are that some deal will be finalized in the next 24 to 48 hours.
The latest rumours suggest that Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor and Travis d'Arnaud are prospects that Toronto may receive for Halladay and there is still the possibility they acquire some prospects from Seattle. Seattle appears likely to include Phillipe Aumont, among others that possibly include Tyson Gillies, in a deal to Philadelphia for Lee. JA Happ and Joe Blanton took physicals in Philadelphia today, but it does not appear that either is in the deal, as far as is known at this point.
Roy Halladay leaves the Rogers Centre mound for the final time in 2009 after throwing a complete game shutout in the Jays 5-0 win over the Seattle Mariners September 25th. Behind "Doc" is catcher Rod Barajas, who's also expected to find employment elsewhere in 2010.
