Or do you actually mean Nieve? If you mean Nieve I think its a good package but I think the way to get it done with the Blue Jays is either 1. Offer to take part of the Wells contract, 60 percent? I realize it's a lot of money but it would drop the cost of Halliday in terms of prospects 2. Offer the Blue Jays the book. tell them to pick four, and suck it up and do it, Halladay makes the team instantly better and gives a message of seriousness 3. Offer them, Fmart or Ike. Tejada or Havens, Neise or Pelfrey then Idk if they want Parnell I wouldn't be broken up about this. Give them choices so you can keep some of the prospects. Okay, so nobody knows what Toronoto wants except young players so you have to try to make it happen, seriously, it's Doc Halliday. Did you mean Neise? Or do you actually mean Nieve?

1. Offer to take part of the Wells contract, 60 percent? I realize it’s a lot of money but it would drop the cost of Halliday in terms of prospects

2. Offer the Blue Jays the book. tell them to pick four, and suck it up and do it, Halladay makes the team instantly better and gives a message of seriousness

3. Offer them, Fmart or Ike. Tejada or Havens, Neise or Pelfrey then Idk if they want Parnell I wouldn’t be broken up about this. Give them choices so you can keep some of the prospects.

Okay, so nobody knows what Toronoto wants except young players so you have to try to make it happen, seriously, it’s Doc Halliday.

Then sign Wolf and Molina or Barajas. Would ever the Mets do, do do anything dum to get Halladay. Trade F-Mart, Nieve, Parnell, Tejada and Flores and that will probably get it done.

Or as Matt suggested, 7 years $119 million is probably the highest he might get. So why wouldn't we take him at $9.5 million per season for those 2 extra years (at the very least he'd be enticing trade bait.

Tex got that contract because both teams were competing with each other. Since the Phillies don't need a corner OF, and the Braves can't afford one, the Mets don't have to overpay to block a rival. I say every team puts up their latest, greatest offer, then subtract $1M for every day he takes to decide.
