Halladay Traded to the Phillies - FINAL

Well it's happened. The good Doctor will be leaving Toronto. Halladay will be sent to Philly as part of a four team blockbuster. The other teams involved are Seattle and Oakland.

Coming to Toronto are highly touted prospects;

Kyle Drabek:

Drabek is the center-piece of the package for the Jays. He is known to have plus fasetball, and the makings of a good changeup. He is also known as a fierce competitor.

Travis d’Arnaud:

Travis is said to have a great makeup and good tools. He is seen by most pundits as a future starting major league catcher.

Brett Wallace:

Wallace is known to be a "special hitter" and a "student of the game." AA sees him playing first base for the Jays in the near future.

Thanks for everything, Roy. You were a treat to watch, and you truly are a great human being.

It would have been awesome to see you win as a Blue Jay, but I understand the current clubs situation and the fact that you want to win now. Perhaps if your still around in four years a return to Toronto could be in the cards?

However, thanks for all the great memories, and good luck in Philly!
