Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos will be attending the winter GM meetings shortly and will inevitably listen to offers for, arguably, the best pitcher in the game. The Blue Jays marketed Roy Halladay heavily this past summer, but asked the world for him and ended up passing on several deals.
So it would be reasonable to think that Toronto will lower its demands over the winter in order to ship off the right-hander. But that would be foolish.
Now is the time to ask for the world and subsequently hold on to Halladay. Wait until the 2010 trading deadline when a team in contention is more willing to give up top prospects and major league-ready players for the likes of Halladay.
The Blue Jays ace is a game changer; he is one of the most durable pitchers in baseball and his services should not come cheaply. That being said, the Jays must be smart. They can get a lot for him, but they must do it at the proper time.
