All-Star pitcher Roy Halladay, who has been a regular subject of trade talk since before last July's deadline, is headed to the Philadelphia Phillies, SI.com reported on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Phillies are expected to trade Cliff Lee to Seattle as part of a three-team trade, but it's not confirmed whom the Mariners would receive in return from either Toronto or Philadelphia, SI.com reported.
Halladay is in Philadelphia talking to the Phillies about an extension, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reports. Halladay has told friends he'd take less than market money to sign with the Phillies -- something in the neighborhood of five years and $100 million.
Halladay was entering the final year of his Toronto contract.
Lee has told the Phillies he would like to stay but wants market.
The Phillies tried to acquire Halladay last season but couldn't agree to terms with the Toronto Blue Jays. They then dealt for Lee instead.
Halladay, 32, is 148-76 lifetime with a 3.43 ERA. He won the 2003 Cy Young Award and finished in the top five in the Cy Young voting four other times.
Halladay went 17-10 with a 2.79 ERA in 32 starts for Toronto last season. He threw 239 innings and led the league with nine complete games.
Lee, who was acquired from the Indians on July 29 for four minor leaguers, quickly became Philadelphia's ace. Lee posted a 3.39 ERA in 12 starts for the Phillies and then went 4-0 with a 1.56 mark in five postseason outings, including 2-0 in the World Series.
Lee, the 2008 AL Cy Young winner with Cleveland, will make $8 million in 2010 and then be eligible for free agency.

A lot? Are you sure about that? They gave up their best pitcher in Cliff Lee to make the deal happen, it may have improved, but no by that much.

I wanted him to go to the Red Sox, but I'm glad he went to the NL instead of the Yankees or Rays.
