Halladay: GM stood up for him

Roy Halladay wanted to set the record straight.

During those crazy days at the end of July when J.P. Ricciardi was testing the trade market for Halladay, it was presumed by many that the Blue Jays GM was unnecessarily embarrassing the franchise’s crown jewel.

Not true, says Halladay.

“J.P. always looked out for my best interests,” Halladay said yesterday. “That was lost in a lot of that. I think people blamed him for that. Knowing the situation, the team was in and my situation, he was looking out for my best interests.

“He took a lot of flak for that and he shouldn’t have. I’ll always appreciate that he did stand up and defend me. I always thought that he was in my corner. He is a tremendous man and somebody I enjoyed working with. He had a lot to do with my career.”
