Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the Yankees have expressed interest in Roy Halladay.
Surprise, surprise. Heyman writes that with just one year remaining on his contract, a package for Halladay might start with Phil Hughes or Joba Chamberlain, not both, as former general manager J.P. Ricciardi asked for leading up to the trade deadline. What might give the Yankees an edge, according to Heyman, is that Halladay could engineer his no-trade clause to a team amenable to an extension, much like Johan Santana did two years ago. Though new general manager Alex Anthopoulos hasn't acknowledged such a window is possible, the Yankees are one of a select few teams, as are the Red Sox, who could award Halladay with the long-term stability he seeks.
