Not good news...

It looks as if Roy Halladay may not be heading to the Bronx. Instead, he appears to be heading to the Phillies. The fact that the Yanks' bats won't have to face him anymore is a good thing. The fact that Boston is adding John Lackey to a starting rotation that already includes Josh Beckett and Jon Lester and suddenly will have comparatively better starting pitching is a problem. Halladay would have moved the Yanks rotation past the tipping point. With CC, AJ, Pettitte and Halladay, one would have been hard pressed to find a better starting rotation in the majors. However, that is not looking highly unlikely. But the Yanks can rely on their potent offense, right? They clearly have that advantage over the Red Sox, right? Just don't ask Mike Cameron.

Roster moves, potential trades

In order to make way for newly-acquired Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte, the Yanks made a few moves today. Nady's presence means too many outfielders, so Brett Gardner was optioned to AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Latroy Hawkins was designated for assignment to make room for Marte. In another long-overdue move, Kei Igawa was outrighted to the minors today.

There is increasing talk about the Yankees getting Jarrod Washburn from the Mariners. I would caution anyone about getting excited about Washburn. With the exception of a few seasons, the 33-year old lefty has had a noticeably unremarkable career. He has a lifetime ERA of 4.12 and a record of 97 and 95, and has not had a respectable season since he was 8 and 8 with a 3.20 ERA in 2005 with Anaheim. Rumors are that the Yanks will basically be allowing Seattle to dump Washburn's contract off and therefore will only give them a low-level prospect in return. Washburn will obviously be a #5 starter is he is acquired.

Much more interesting but significantly less discussed is the remote possibility that the Yanks trade for Roy Halladay. There has been speculation that Halladay will be traded, and despite Toronto's denials, he apparently is desperate to win a world championship and is not oblivious to the fact that as long as he is in Toronto, that would be a long shot.
