PS17 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4742072 All-Star pitcher Roy Halladay, who has been a regular subject of trade talk since before last July's deadline, is headed to the Philadelphia Phillies, SI.com is reporting. Halladay According to the report, Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee is likely headed to the Seattle Mariners as part of a three-team trade. Halladay was entering the final year of his Toronto contract. The Phillies tried to acquire Halladay last season, but couldn't agree to terms with the Toronto Blue Jays. They then dealt for Lee instead. Halladay, 32, is 148-76 lifetime with a 3.43 ERA. He won the 2003 Cy Young Award and finished in the top five in the Cy Young voting four other times. Halladay went 17-10 with a 2.79 ERA in 32 starts for Toronto last season. He threw 239 innings and led the league with nine complete games. Lee, who was acquired from the Indians on July 29 for four minor leaguers, quickly became Philadelphia's ace. Lee posted a 3.39 ERA in 12 starts for the Phillies and then went 4-0 with a 1.56 mark in five postseason outings, including 2-0 in the World Series. Lee, the 2008 AL Cy Young winner with Cleveland, will make $8 million in 2010 and then be eligible for free agency. Information from The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Otter Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Thank you Toronto for trading Halladay out of the American League! Can't believe the Mets lost out on both Lackey and Halladay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are going for Jason Bay! Who can't field worth a lick! And won't hit 25 home runs in CitiField! Go Mets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Mets have no interest in getting better. That's plain to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Why would the Phillies get rid of Cliff Lee? Makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Why would the Phillies get rid of Cliff Lee? Makes no sense to me. Because he is signed for only 2009 and they don't want to pony up for him. if they can get Halladay, it will be with a contract in tow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
