So according to www.mlbtraderumors.com the Yankees offered C Jesus Montero for Roy Halladay straight up. I wish I would have known this months ago. This is truly a revealing look into how serious the Yankees were about acquiring Roy Halladay. Anyone worth their weight knew that the Blue Jays were looking for more than just a catcher of the future, especially from the Yankees. When it came to the Yankees, the Blue Jays seemed to really want the farm... almost literally. Now I know that Cashman was not pursuing Halladay seriously at all. He was clearly appeasing the Steinbrenner boys and making an offer and if he could pull the trigger great, if not that is fine as well. Offering a minor league catcher for arguably the best pitcher in the majors today implies that Cashman either wanted to steal Halladay or never felt he was in the running.
I am at ease with this whole situation now.
