For the simple reason, its pure asset management. Can the Jays trade Halladay for a better return than the sandwich picks they would receive if he leaves via Free Agency? My bet is, yes they can.
The Jays have to look and see what is the best path to make this team better in the future.
It would be great to see Roy sign another long term deal.......... but I doubt this is going to happen.
