Dodgers Trade Rumors: Roy Halladay Coverage

From the very beginning this trade just doesn't make a lot of sense. I have said on numerous occasions this trade creates more holes than it fills. We finally get some thoughts on the subject from Ned Colletti. Dylan Hernandez has the latest straight from the source.

Colletti said, "We would like to improve our pitching, especially starting pitching. I don't believe we can subtract from it in order to improve it."

Now take Colletti's words a little further. We aren't going to trade Chad Billingsley (or any current starter) for  (any starting pitcher) Roy Halladay. This makes a trade for Roy Halladay very unlikely. The trade has been officially called "a longshot."

This could be a bargaining move and a way for Colletti to make his demands known. Now if Toronto wants to talk prospects only and take players like Billingsley and R. Martin out of picture, a deal may become possible. Colletti has stood his ground, and has made it clear he has no intentions of trading anyone of the 25 man roster. The Dodgers have enough holes to fill already. Why create more? If anything worth writing on this subject comes about I will update this post and keep one thread from now on.
