MLB: Struggling Halladay insists he is fine
Roy Halladay said he’s not injured and the two-time Cy Young Award winner criticized a report suggesting something may be wrong with him because he’s struggled in spring training.
Halladay got rocked for five runs and seven hits before getting yanked in the third inning of Philadelphia’s loss to Minnesota on Wednesday. A report surfaced quoting two unidentified scouts expressing concern that Halladay’s velocity is down and his sharpness is off.
“It couldn’t be further from the truth,’’ Halladay said yesterday.
The Royals signed shortstop Alcides Escobar to a $10.5 million, four-year extension that includes two option years.
