There has been some talk in New York about the chances of the Yankees getting Roy Halladay. It seems that most of the media figure the asking price is simply too high and that the price for the Yankees is double what other teams could get Halladay for.

From the moment Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi said he would entertain offers for Roy Halladay, the Yankees believed the price would be too steep for them and that being in the same division would drive the Blue Jays to ask for more than they would from others.

Even if the Yankees included outfielder Austin Jackson and catcher Austin Romine -- prospects clubs were told were off-limits before Halladay entered the picture -- there might not be enough because the major league-ready arms the Blue Jays would ask for are Phil Hughes or Joba Chamberlain, last night's starter against the Angels.
