| Source: Red Sox on Halladay’s list | 11.09.09 at 2:39 pm ET |
CHICAGO — According to a source familiar with the situation, the Red Sox are one of the teams Toronto pitcher Roy Halladay has identified as a club he would accept a trade to. Halladay has a no-trade clause in his current deal, which will pay him $15.75 million in 2010.
Indications from another major league source suggest that the Blue Jays are currently intent on keeping Halladay, although the 32-year-old figures to continue to be a topic of trade talk throughout the offseason. The Red Sox were one of the teams to make an attempt at acquiring the Toronto ace at last season’s trade deadline.
Halladay finished ‘09 at 17-10 with a 2.79 ERA, having led the league in complete games (9) for the third straight season.

Redsox going for Halladay spells d.e.s.p.e.r.a.t.i.o.n!

Sox going for Halladay? What happened to Lester and Becket and all of those arms they had? Do you really need Halladay, Lester and Becket to beat the Yankees?

If the final half of the ‘09 Yankees/Red Sox series is any indication then yes, and there is nothing wrong with that. If they can make the right moves that don’t give up the farm for one arm I say go for it.

I’m not sure how that spells desperation for the Sox. Why wouldn’t they want to add the best starting pitcher in baseball to their team?

Any team is a better team with Halladay on it. The man is a beast. The most competitive, hard working, talented pitcher in the game. Just one arm indeed. Go back to baseball kindergarten if you think Roy is just another arm.

Mocking an attempt to get one of the best pitchers in the game sounds more like desperation to me. Worried it’ll happen?

Who is this Switchhitter23 guy???? He must be a Yankee!!!
If your gonna call anything desperation, it was the signing of Sabathia, Burnett, and Texiera to desperately end a 9 year drought for a WS title!! Your statements are lame!

switchhitter??? u dont know shit about baseball, ur just worried cause ur lucky yankees can NEVER compete with the RED SOX if they sign Halladay

Signing Halladay is desperation? What do you call the Yankee spending spree on Sabathia, Burnett, Texieria and Kate Hudson? A Champion$hip move? No, that was desperation. When you spend as much cash as 3 teams or more, you damn well better have something to show for it.

Switchhitter23 you sound alot like my friend who is a yankee fan. You talk about desperation these people are right , take a look at what your team spent this past off season, was that desperation? Look im not sitting here saying the sox don’t spend money but come on but there is no comparison to the teams. Oh and by the way if Halladay was added to this team , I think the Yankees would finish 2nd.

sox going after halladay is no way in desperation there simply trying to make a rotation (insane goooood)but…we also need a bat and they better get ADRIAN GONZALEZ whatever the cost (money & prospects),they need to break the bank with gonzalez and by the way the yankees stole texiera from us and in a way i thank you cause yankees signing tex gives us now the opportunity to get 1 of the greatest pure hitters in the game and not to mention the numbers he would put up with a surrounding cast of players..think of this he put up insane numbers with no help!!!can you say 300AVG 40-50HR & lets say about 100-120RBI

Those saying the pursuit of Roy Halladay would NOT be desperation are absolutely right! If that’s desperation I say go for it! One of the best pitchers in baseball and some idiot Sox fans–are they really Sox fans?–think it’s a bad idea to want to add him to the rotation? Gimme a break.

YANKEES BOUGHT THIS WORLD SERIES LIKE MANY OTHERS THIS ONE WAS
FOR THERE AILING OLD MAN

The ones saying it’s DESPERATION are YANKEE fans.
Ignore them.
Halladay, Beckett, Lester would be the best 1-2-3 punch in baseball.
The Sox might win almost every series during the regualar season.
And win every series in the post season.

This would be a great move for the Sox, why not add Halladay? You need three solid arms to ride through the playoffs, having three all star arms should guarantee an ALCS and perhaps a WS…go get him Theo!
