Yeah, I’d much rather deal Happ than Drabek but it seems Ricciardi is playing hardball. He’s already rebuffed LA unless they include Kershaw and won’t even listen to the Angels, who are offering Weaver. Also heard he told the Yanks he wouldn’t discuss a deal unless it included both Joba and Hughes. Can’t imagine he’d accept a package without Drabek under these circumstances. One thing that has now become obvious is that if the Phils really want Halladay, they will have to overpay. Even the package that they proposed (Carrasco, Donald, Happ, Brown) is overpaying. Don’t get me wrong, I’d do that one, but you can’t go too much deeper than that.

IF they can get him without both Drabek and Happ then it’s a done deal. I’d prefer they deal Happ because I think Drabek is gonna be very good and very soon.

PCP Update: Foxsports.com is now reporting that the Los Angeles Angels have intensified their efforts to acquire Halladay. The Phillies are still believed to be the front runners, and an official from Toronto believes that a package without Happ would work, but not one without Drabek. A trade is expected to take place by Tuesday but not this weekend.

PCP UPDATE: The Phillies are believed to have countered Toronto’s initial proposal. It is being reported that the counter proposal was Carlis Carrasco, Jason Donald, J.A. Happ, and Dominic Brown. More to follow as it becomes available.
