MLB Trade Rumors: 3-Way Deal Involving Roy Halladay??

Ed Prtce from AOLFanhouse tweeted the following trade rumor last night:

Could #RedSox be working a 3-way? They're monitoring #Dodgers farm. Halladay to LAD, bat to Bos? Only a guess. Or maybe just reliever to LA.

I am surprised the Red Sox are scouting the Dodgers farm system, but anything is possible with GMs Theo Epstein and Ned Colletti. Both of these GMs got together last year on the blockbuster deal that netted the Dodgers Manny Ramirez, the Red Sox Jason Bay, and the Pirates 4 prospects. Could they get together again on a blockbuster deal?

How about Roy Halladay  to the Dodgers, Scott Rolen to the Red Sox, and a plethora of prospects to the Blue Jays? The list of prospects could include major league pitcher James McDonald, AAA pitcher Michael Bowden, AAA pitcher Daniel Bard, AAA pitcher Scott Elbert, AA outfielder Andrew Lambo, High-A 3B Josh Bell and AAA pitcher Josh Lindblom.

Is that enough? Dodgers GM Ned Colletti was quoted over the weekend as saying the Blue Jays want 5-6 prospects for Halladay, so I listed 7.

Poll
Would Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi hang up the phone on this blockbuster deal?
Yes, he wants Clay Buchholz or Clayton Kershaw in any deal for Roy Halladay, period.

Theo would get murdered

Multiple highly regarded prospects for Scott Rolen??

That's a joke

Why would the Red Sox even consider that deal? You’re giving up multiple top prospects for an over the hill guy with an albatross of a contract who plays a redundant position? Come on. They just traded for LaRoche to cover themselves on Mike Lowell injuries. The last thing they need is another overrated, brittle old guy with a huge contract.

Maybe they consider this deal for Matt Kemp or Russ Martin, but no way for Rolen. That’s absurd.

better question

does Theo get judged on World Series wins or number of prospects he retains?

If you seriously think Scott Rolen is the key to a Red Sox 2009 World Series Championship, you’re delusional.

bard

is in the majors, not AAA. No way Theo gives up Bowden and/or Bard for Scott Rolen. With his contract and injury history the return would be something like the Indians got for Ryan Garko.
