Fired for Winning

FOXsports.com is reporting that Roy Halladay is in Philadelphia right now, and could be a Phillie very soon.

The only reasons for the Blue Jays right-hander to be in Philly would be to negotiate a contract extension, take a physical or both. One source said that — as of shortly after 3 p.m. Monday — the commissioner’s office had not yet granted the Phillies permission to discuss an extension with Halladay. Judging by that, it would appear that an agreement is not imminent today.

The rub is the Phils would be parting with post-season hero Cliff Lee. FOX reports that the Halladay and Lee would be part of a three-team trade involving themselves, the Jays and possibly the Angels. The Phils would get Halladay and cash. Halladay would have to be signed

How bad was that meeting with Lee’s agent last week?
