Source: Jays reject Phillies' latest Halladay offer

The Phillies took both Drabek and Brown out of the deal proposed by Toronto. They offered Happ and their three prospects -- outfielder Michael Taylor, pitcher Carlos Carrasco and shortstop Jason Donald.

J.P. Ricciardi (Tornto GM) reportedly told the Phillies "that's not going to work." Apparently Toronto will not deal unless they are "wowed" by an offer. Starks also reports that the Jays are "very comfortable" keeping Halladay if they don't get what they want. J.P. can keep saying that, but his ace is worth half his current value if he does not deal him this week. The Phils should throw Drabek in the deal and keep Happ and Brown -- they become legit world title contenders for two years immediately and can keep a decent number three in Happ. If they can somehow get this deal done by keeping Drabek though -- that would be a major coup.
