After 12 years with the organization, the Jays traded Halladay in one of their most important moves ever.
Fifteen years ago Monday , the Toronto Blue Jays made one of their most important organizational moves ever in trading ace pitcher Roy Halladay to the Philadelphia Phillies.In the deal, the Blue Jays acquired pitcher Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor and catcher Travis d'Arnaud. Only d'Arnaud has gone onto to a lengthy and successful career, as he's still playing with the Los Angeles Angels.
All in all, Halladay had a 16-year major league career, including 12 with the Jays. He was an eight-time All-Star and a two-time Cy Young winner. Unfortunately, he never made the playoffs with Toronto, but he did get there in 2010 and 2011 with Philly. He famously tossed a no-hitter in the playoffs with the Phillies as well.
