A few days ago, Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com wrote that he had a hunch, not proof, that the Phillies were looking to trade for Roy Hallady from the Toronto Blue Jays and in the process involving a third team with which to send Cliff Lee. At the time, my reaction was something along the lines of, "poppycock". It sounded like something out of an episode of The League, not real-life baseball.
But now, Twitter is tweeting, bloggers are blogging and rumors are rumoring that the Phillies have sent Cliff Lee to the Seattle Mariners and they've received Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays. It's not clear yet what other prospects from any team, or moneys for that matter, are also included in the possible three-way deal.
In addition, there's also chatter on the interwebs that Halladay and his agent have checked into a Philadelphia-area hotel.
Wow.
Stay tuned.
[And Ken, you have my deepest apologies.]
