Re: possible trade – from a friend of a friend inside – 75% chance but who really knows with this stuff.

Where is Roy Halladay going?
Halladay was a Blue Jay when these meetings started. He was still a Blue Jay when these meetings ended. And at this rate, he could still be a Blue Jay on New Year's Day, Ground Hog Day and the Fourth of July.
Officials from the half-dozen teams that inquired about Halladay at these meetings reported that the price sticker still being slapped on Halladay's windshield looked frighteningly similar to the prices the Blue Jays were asking for in July.
So the only realistic destinations for Halladay at this point appear to be the Angels (for a package fronted by Joe Saunders and Erick Aybar), Phillies (for J.A. Happ, Michael Taylor and more) or Yankees (for a centerpiece of Jesus Montero/Phil Hughes-or-Joba Chamberlain). But one or both sides are balking at all those potential deals. And there are still major questions about whether Halladay is willing to sign an extension wherever he goes, a sticking point for at least one of those teams (the Angels).
None of those developments would seem to point toward a Halladay trade going down any time soon. But as we reported in Wednesday's more extensive look at this situation, this saga could easily follow a parallel path to the 2007-08 Johan Santana talks, in which the price plummeted precipitously as spring training approached. If not, there's always July.
