TORONTO – It seems everyone in baseball, even commissioner Bud Selig, has an opinion about where Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay will end up before next week's trade deadline.
As for Halladay himself, he doesn't expect to go anywhere.
Evan Longoria hit a two-run double in the 10th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays spoiled what could have been Halladay's final start for Toronto, beating the Blue Jays 4-2 on Friday night.
Halladay, the most sought-after player available on the trade market, pitched nine innings, then the Rays scored the go-ahead run against Scott Downs (1-2).
Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline is July 31, but Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi has set a loose deadline of Tuesday to work out a deal for Halladay. His next scheduled start is Wednesday at Seattle.
"If there was an urgency to be somewhere else and urgency from the team to have me somewhere else, I think it would be different," Halladay said. "I just don't get that feeling. At this point I feel like I'm going to be here."
