Sources: Brett Wallace's Shoulder Concerns Delayed Roy Halladay Trade

The delay in the announcement of the Roy Halladay trade was the Blue Jays’ concern over the condition of infielder Brett Wallace’s shoulder, according to major-league sources.

Wallace, headed from the A’s to the Jays for outfielder Michael Taylor, underwent an MRI and checked out fine, the sources said.

Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos, completing his first major trade, merely wanted to exercise caution by taking the additional step. --Ken Rosenthal
