I'm gonna go with slim to none. Of course, Roy Halladay says he'd love to keep pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays... which he kind of has to say in order to avoid looking like a traitorous a-hole.However, he also said he's willing to consider accepting a trade if the Jays approached him with a sweet-enough deal. He had this to say on the scenario:
"I want to stay, but I think it’s a situation you have to evaluate. I’m really not at that situation just yet. If something does come up, you weigh your options at that point. I hate to put the cart in front of the horse and start saying 'Do I want to do that?' I think you just evaluate the situations when they come."The right-handed work horse (10-2, 2.79 ERA) will earn $14.25 million this year and $15.75 next season before his contract, complete with one of those tricky no trade clauses, comes to an end.
Doc, a life-long Blue Jay, is joined by general manager J.P. Ricciardi on the sentiment that he’s willing to listen to possible offers. Now let's sit back, relax, and watch 90% of the big leagues start licking their chops and picking up the horn. There's already some chatter in the Philadelphia area!

Doc the the Phillies? Yes please. Let's get his the hell out of the American League.
I am going to set up a vigil for Halladay to make sure he isn't traded. I don't know if I can go on if he is traded away. :(
There's something in my eye.
Delmon Young for Roy Halladay. Fair deal.
Fetch: I like the way you think.
eyebleaf: you are hands-down my favorite returning-commenter. Here's a hug.
there's no way, is there? they would ask for someone's entire system in return for him...yankees aside, is anyone that stupid? halladay is a beast, but i feel like ricciardi's asking price would be unreasonable
I about reached through my TV last night to punch Dick Bremer as he was talking about the possiblity of a deal for Doc.. he was saying things like 'they need a good catcher', blah blah blah.. almost like he was offering up Man Muscles to the Jays.
I love Dick and all (tee hee) but he almost got a kick in the man-berries.
i agree w/ DL i think the asking price might be a little high. all the mentioning of the Phillies talks about the price being 3-5 of our best prospects. that seems like a little much especially with the Jays GM saying he won't allow a negotiating window with Roy before the deal is completed
As long as he goes anywhere other than St. Louis.
