Red Sox Interested in Halladay

Roy Halladay

A Tuesday report from the New York Daily News suggests that Roy Halladay may be headed to the Boston Red Sox. The Sox are reportedly interested in getting a deal done before the December 7th MLB Winter Meetings and are pushing aggressively to make it happen.

The Red Sox would likely need to part ways with young pitcher Clay Buckholtz and blue chip prospect, Casey Kelly. Halladay’s price tag may be even larger given the fact that the Blue Jays would be trading him within their own division.

Halladay would give the Red Sox another ace to go along with Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, John Lester and Tim Wakefield; forming arguably Major League Baseball’s best rotation.

The Angels have also reportedly stated their interest in Halladay as they prepare for the reality that staff ace John Lackey will likely test free agency.
