GM: Jays not in market, but would want 'a boatload' for Halladay
By Jon Heyman, SI.com
Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi identified his asking price if he
were ever to consider trading star pitcher Roy Halladay in an interview
today, and he pretty much summed it up in one word: Boatload.
The Jays are defying critics by leading the stacked AL East with a 16-9
record despite a boatload of injuries to the pitching staff. So while
Halladay -- who's 5-1 with a 3.68 ERA and considered among the top two or
three pitchers in baseball -- remains the most desirable pitcher who could
conceivably become available, he may never actually hit the market at all.
"I don't think we're in the market to do that at this point. We like our team
next year with Halladay,'' Ricciardi said.
"If we ever did get to that point,'' the GM added, "we'd want a boatload. And
I don't know whether anyone would offer a boatload. But obviously, we're not
at that point.''
Halladay pitched the Jays into the divisional lead with an 8-4 victory over
the Orioles on Friday night. Despite rotation injuries to Dustin McGowan and
Shaun Marcum (who could be back in August, according to Ricciardi) and more
recent injuries to Casey Janssen, Jesse Litsch and Ricky Romero, the Jays are
leading what's generally considered baseball's best division.
About that, Ricciardi said, "We're keeping our feet. It's a long year, and a
tough division.''
