Boston Herald columnist lists Angels as favorites for Bay AND Halladay over Sox
Granted, it is just one guy's opinion, but an interesting idea that the Jays could find Weaver, Saunders or Santana as a more desirable option than Bucholz, based upon the big-league history of each. Likewise, he correctly intuits that Arte would increase the payroll for the right player, even though he has a baseline payroll figure to which he would otherwise adhere. Thus, stretching for Bay and/or Halladay isn't beyond the realm of imagination, even knowing the normal Angel payroll constraints.
