Roy Halladay Rumors: Tuesday

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 14, 2009 at 6:14pm CST]

Roy Halladay will start tonight's All-Star Game, but that doesn't stop the rumors. Here's the latest:

Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse adds this quote from the Blue Jays ace: "I've never been a person that had to be wooed. I know what I'm looking for. ... If things did come up, it would be a pretty easy decision."
According to CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler, Halladay wouldn't reveal his list of desired destinations Tuesday, saying only that he would like to join a contender.
Halladay told WEEI's Rob Bradford that a long-term extension isn't his top priority in a trade. It's more about a desire to win: “I really haven’t got that point. I think I’ve been fortunate that early in my career I was able to take care of my family and get in the situation to start putting the emphasis on what I would like and I think at this point it’s trying to win,” said the Toronto ace. “For me I don’t see it foresee it being hugely important, and if something is worked out afterward… I think you’re just looking for a chance to win.”
Steve Kornacki of MLive.com hears that the Blue Jays want a shortstop prospect and pitching in return for Halladay, He suggests the Tigers could include a shortstop like Brent Dlugach, Cale Iorg or Danny Worth in an offer for Halladay.
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe hears the Red Sox would love to go after Halladay, but want the price to come down first.
Last week Ricciardi told Cafardo that he doesn't expect to make a deal for Halladay.
Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun says the Angels and Yankees are the favorites to land Halladay.
Doc jokingly "declined comment" when Aaron Hill asked him which team he was headed to, according to Elliott.
Woody Paige of the Denver Post says the Rockies need to go after Halladay, who happens to be from Colorado.
