Halladay to Start All-Star Game for AL

Roy HalladayST. LOUIS -- The pitcher most in the news over the past week will start for the American League in Tuesday's All-Star Game.

A major league source confirmed to FanHouse that Roy Halladay will get the nod for the AL. The selection is to be made public Monday by manager Joe Maddon.

Halladay has been the subject of speculation since Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi revealed earlier this month he would listen to offers for his ace, who is 10-3 with a 2.85 ERA.

One executive from another AL team said Sunday he doesn't expect Halladay to be traded because of what the Blue Jays seek in return. According to the executive, once an interested team tells Toronto that any prospect is "off-limits," that effectively ends the discussion. That matches what a source told FanHouse last week, that "it's almost got to be like a [Erik] Bedard deal [or] Dan Haren."
