We can Assume one of those 3 would have to go to bring Halladay . twobrewers wrote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think people often ignore how vital Escobar and Gamel are to the Brewers long-term financial future. Escobar cannot be traded. They are counting on his rookie salary to allow them to pay players like Prince, Braun, Suppan and Hall. There is no way the Brewers can keep JJ Hardy and add a HUGE salary (Halladay) going into next year. JJ would have to be the centerpiece of the deal - and I can't imagine that is enough to entice the Blue Jays However that rookie salary is important but not to Pay Hall and Suppan.
