The Toronto Blue Jays have given away Roy Halladay.
Yes, given away.
The Jays will say they've traded him.
But that's not what I call it.
Not when the Jays will pay the Phillies $6M to take him.
And get nothing in return.
Yes, nothing, when you consider what they're giving up.
Doc, you will be missed -- big time.
Rogers Corporation continues its efforts to end Major League Baseball's presence in Canada because that is surely what this will harbinger (this could be the penultimate nail in the coffin).
The declining attendance stats for Jays games tell the story; and that will only get worse now -- they have no drawing cards left.
However, for what may well be our last annual "Jays Journey," John and I will buy tickets to the Jays/Phillies match which is scheduled to take place in Toronto at the end of June 2010. We're fairly confident the Phillies will be featuring their new ace pitcher for the opener of that series!
