I thought I should put together a little more of an explanation on my thoughts about the potential Halladay trade than that everybody should remember he will be 34 at the beginning of his next contract.
So I give you one of my favorite ways to work out in my head the best possible outcome, the ranked list with explanations!
Please note, these are all reasonable outcomes, we aren't including things like "trade him for lousy players or consensus top prospects who all end up injured" - those would be stupid things to do or things out of the actors control.
Least best to best:
6. Hold onto Halladay, make no attempt to build a contender next season and let him walk for draft picks.
5. Hold onto Halladay, make no attempt to build a contender next season and then sign him to a long term contract and gut the team for the length of the contract to be able to afford him
4. Trade him for top prospects this season and then make no reasonable attempt in future seasons to build a contender.
3. Hold onto him for next season sign him long term and continue making 1/2 assed attempts at competing.
2. Trade him right now for the best possible deal, and start making a serious attempt at contending in future seasons
1. Hold onto him, make a real attempt at contending next season, trade him if you don`t, and figure out what to do after the season if they do actually contend.
