Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay is reportedly on the trading block. He's already been linked to teams like St. Louis and Philadelphia. The question is whether or not those teams have the prospects in order to acquire the former Cy Young award winner.
Halladay is the type of dominant force that would easily improve a contender and he seems to be enjoying the thought of heading to a team in the race.
The situation reminds me of the Randy Johnson/C.C. Sabathia effect. When Johnson was traded to the Houston Astros in 1998, the monster left-hander dealt bullets over the final two months and propelled the Astros to a playoff berth. Sabathia aided the Milwaukee Brewers in its run to clinch its first postseason birth since 1982.
Which team will trade its future for the present? We'll see in a few short weeks as the July 31 MLB trading deadline inches closer.
