Halladay-Lee Blockbuster Update

After the whirlwind surrounding yesterday's deal, and trying to figure out how this trade worked and who was going where, we finally have better idea today.

Here's the gist of it all. One big blockbuster trade was really two "companion" trades.

• The Phillies shipped Cliff Lee to the Mariners for three minor leaguers: Phillipe Aumont, Tyson Gillies and Juan Ramirez
• The Phillies acquired Roy Halladay, and signed him to a three-year extension with a vesting option through 2014, in exchange for three Phillies prospects: Kyle Drabek, Michael Tayler and Travis D'Arnaud

All in all, the Mariners and Jays did very well in this. The Mariners don't have a very good farm system to begin with, so they didn't give up a whole lot for Lee. The Jays got two of Philly's top prospects for Halladay. Now, the Phillies didn't do horribly bad in this because they got one of the best pitchers in the game out of this, but my feeling is they gave up a little too much for Halladay. But it is what it is, and I think all three teams are pretty happy with this.
