The Toronto Blue Jays may be prepared to allow another team to negotiate a contract extension with ace Roy Halladay should a trade opportunity be made available.

MLB.com reported Tuesday that the reasoning behind a window is the fact that the Blue Jays would likely receive a better package for Halladay if a contract extension could be signed.

Former GM J.P. Ricciardi refused previously to allow the opportunity for a team to negotiate an extension, but things have changed since his replacement Alex Anthopoulos took over in September.
