I think the Yankees would be stupid to miss another opportunity at acquiring one of the game’s best pitchers (see Johan Santana two years ago). The best part of a trade for Halladay? His one year remaining on his contract allows the Yankees to be compensated with two draft picks next year if they let him go.
