Today it became official: Rookie GM Alex Anthopoulos did what former Jays GM J.P. He has dominated hitters and despite poor run support onsub par teams in a non baseball market, hecontinuously put up big numbers and got lots of recognition. The man they call Doc won the 2003 Cy Young award as the leagues top pitcher and has numerous other times finished in the top five of voting for the Cy. For Jays fans it is likely impossibly to imagine the team without Halladay but after month of speculation thattime has finally come.Its hard to blame Doc for finally wanting out of Toronto. Over the years he has shown loyalty to the team who drafted him and has more than paid his dues to the team,fans and city of Toronto. Rumors of Doc's wanting out became public midway through last season and while Halladay had handled the process with dignity, it all came to a boiling point late last season when then-GM J.P. Ricciardi confirmed reports that Halladay had indicated that he would not be returning after his contract expired and desired to play for a contender.Ricciardi not only threw Halladay to the wolves in the middle of the season but shot himself in the foot as now every G.M in the league knew that Doc wanted out.

Ricciardi now had no negotiating leverage and basically put a gun to his own head Halladay had kept things quiet and had J.P. kept this behind closed doors, he would have had more leverage when looking for a deal. The leagues other GMs all now knew that Halladay wanted out and Ricciardi had a window in which to move him if he wanted significant compensation in return.The Jays and Phillies came close in trade discussions for Halladay but the Phillies eventually shifted their focus to Cliff Lee (whom the would lateracquire) when J.P demanded Kyle Drabek be involved in any Halladay deal. That being said, as we all know, Ricciardi could not find a suitable package for Halladay and J.P was soon after fired from the organization. His brutal handling of the Halladay trade drama was the last straw for management.Enter Alex Anthopoulos.Anthopoulos came into the role of G.M in a rough time. The Jays were to slash payroll and move out their iconic franchise pitcher in Halladay Ricciardi had done A.A. no favors as not only had it become public knowledge that Halladay wanted out and that the team wanted to move them, but the Jays would now likely be getting a smaller package then they would have, had they been able to move Doc last season.Things got even harder for Anthopoulos when Halladays agent told the media that unless Doc was traded before spring training, he would not approve a trade to any club The Jays rookie G.M now had handcuffs on both hands.
