It apparently was on ESPN Radio before Game 3 of the World Series last night and according to one of the guys the Rockies a few years ago discussed the following trade with the Toronto Blue Jays
Pedro Astacio and Jose Jimenez for Chris Carpenter, Vernon Wells AND Roy Halladay
Rockies management then apparently decided not to pull the trigger as they felt Astacio was too popular with the fans. Can this be true? Apart from the fact Carpenter and Halladay probably would´ve bombed and left once they wanted to make more than minimum wage, this could´ve been a trade of Forsberg-esque proportions.
