According to a guy who has been proven to know a lot about the things going on in the world of baseball ( Jon Heyman ), The Mets will not get Roy Halladay anytime soon. Part of the reason why is they are not willing to part with any of the prospects the Blue Jays want. I am not really sure if the Mets should get rid of all of the guys the Blue Jays want, but my question is shouldn't they at least see if they could ask the Blue Jays if they can tweak the trade a little ? Just because the Blue Jays asked for Fernando Martinez, Jon Niese, Bobby Parnell, and shortstop prospect Rueben Tejada does not mean they may change their minds about the trade without the Mets giving all these prspects ( probably the only ones they have ) away.
In the past teams have changed their mind when trading with other teams. This was only the Jays first offer. It is obvious the Mets really just wanted again to make beleive they are interested here. It also could be the fact it is possible the Mets realize ( Like Heyman said in his article ) Halladay will not help the team enough to even get them to the playoffs.
With all this being said, If you were Halladay, would you come to the Mets? This is a team that most likely will not make the playoffs, so if you were Hallday why would go to the Mets ?
I will continue to see what happens with thisdrama ( ok, not really a drama ). I know Santana came here without getting too much, but too much tells me it just won't work out this time. With or without Halladay, Mets fans better look toward next year.
