Roy Halladay will not be leaving Toronto this year, at least not for Philadelphia. The The Phillies and Blue Jays have been in trade talks for Toronto's all-star pitcher Roy Halladay for almost ten days now and today the rumors came to an end.
A trade was completed earlier today, but not the deal that was expected by the baseball world. In a no-player deal the Phillies sent an old, fur-covered van to the Blue Jays in exchange for a fuel efficient minibike.
The deal included no cash, draft picks or current players as the two modes of transport were dealt straight up.
"We stole this thing away from them," said a Phils representative who wanted to remain anonymous. "This will be a key component to our playoff drive."
"We stole this thing away from them," said a Blue Jays representative who wanted to remain anonymous. "This will be a key component to the future of our club."
Phillies fans at first appeared disappointed then rejoiced at the acquisition of such a great minibike for only a dog-decorated van.
"Wow, they did it again," said a fan. "The minibike could be used for the bullpen or something."
