Dillard To Spot Start For Burns If No Trade Is Made

Straight from the official site.

Apparently CBS sports is saying we're out of the running for Halladay, per the article.

Also a fair warning, there are quite a few well informed comments that have been made on it already. /sarcasm

Jays Set Deadline For Halladay Trade

The "deadline" they've "set" is the 28th. Ricciardi also says deal is unlikely. I wonder if they're trying to scare someone into overwhelming them with a package of prospects.

Apparently Garko may be on the trading block.

Also, Brantley was mentioned in the article as well. You have to scroll down a bit to get to the Indians section.

It's been 15 years since his stint in baseball, and he still hasn't forgiven Sports Illustrated for one of their covers. I still argue that he didn't have an absolutely horrid year like is commonly believed. It was essentially his rookie year, and he spent it in one of the hardest levels of the minors...AA. And while he was there, he did manage to steal 30 bases in 48 attempts, and collect 50+ RBIs and 50+ walks. Not bad for a guy with a 6' 6" frame (the steals and the walks anyway). His fielding was dreadful though.

Shouse & Rays Finalize Deal

Looks like he at least has an option for the 2nd year that he wanted...and the Brewers get a comp pick. Everyone wins!

At least it's a low risk minor league deal.
