ESPN.com news services, November 25, 2009

The Boston Red Sox are ready to deal and they want to see an ace.

Citing an unnamed source, the New York Daily News reported on Tuesday that the team is "putting on a full-court press" to acquire Roy Halladay from the Toronto Blue Jays.

"They would love to get it wrapped up before the winter meetings ," the source said, according to the newspaper.

A source told ESPNBoston.com reporter Gordon Edes that there is "nothing" to the timing and urgency mentioned in the report. The consensus among baseball people is that new Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos will get the deal he wants this winter, and if not, he will wait until the trading deadline in July.

1. The TV ESPN reported several other teams are interested

I believe the Yankees and Dodgers are one of the main teams. They said thought the problem is those teams believe the Blue Jays want to much.

I don't know what to make of it, it's just a rumor to me at this point.
