Are the Rangers crazy enough?

With the trade deadline Friday night, the Dallas Morning News is reporting talks with the Jays and Texas for ace Roy Halladay have heated up again. Toronto reportedly wants Derek Holland, Tommy Hunter and Justin Smoak for Halladay.

This seems like it could be a really, really bad move for Texas. Holland pitched an 8 inning gem Thursday night (perfect timing) and Hunter is a very good pitching prospect in his own right. Add Justin Smoak, a player many believe to be the future at first base, and it gets a little steep for a guy you may not be able to afford to pay past this season.

What’s more it goes against GM Jon Daniels and team president Nolan Ryan’s grow our own philosophy.
