And Doc leaving as a free agent would result in two first round picks coming Toronto's way - hardly "nothing." As for next year's trade deadline - maybe the economy is recovering and teams are ok paying big money while trading away their treasured (cheap) prospects. Look what the return on Texaria or Sabbathia was - hardly insignificant.

Halladay is slated to make $15M....not a huge difference to Howard.
Anyways, that is the type of player I feel Halladay CAN net if we trade him this year. The Jays won't go crazy with salary, but they should be able to get a top player like Howard/Braun/Fielder/Utley/Wright if they so desire. Or, a boatload of prospects which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world either.
