That’s Roy Halladay with a face full of shaving cream. If the Toronto Blue Jays don’t get a deal done that lowers their payroll and gives them some prospects for the future, it may be team GM, J.P. Riccardi, who’s the one with pie on his face. Here are a few takes on the likeliness of this happening:

The Toronto Star takes issue with the apparent salary dump mindset the Blue Jays are in and points to the Phillies as an organization that does things right. How about that.

Espn.com, the network that buries rape stories and I.D.s its reporters on nude videos, is drawing on its experience in creating two seasons of Brett Favre drama and reporting that J.P. Riccardi needs a little more time before the Toronto GM figures out what’s he’s going to do with Halladay.

Tampabay.com is reporting that the Rays are now in the hunt for Halladay’s services, as well as universal Halladay fall-back plan, Cliff Lee.

In the tsn.ca daily poll, almost 50% of respondents want the Blue Jays to hold onto Halladay. If it’s any comfort to Torontonians, slightly more than 50% of respondents at philly.com don’t think he’s going anywhere.

As for the other rumored Halladay suitors, at least one Cardinals fan sees the market for Halladay working in the Cards’ favor. Jeff Wilson of the Dallas Morning News gives his take on the likeliness of the Rangers acquiring Halladay. Brewers’ GM, Doug Melvin, offers his take on the Brew Crews’ chances. And finally, sportsofboston.com talks about Halladay as a Red Sock (sp?) and they specualte as to who else may be in the race.
