The Major League Baseball trade deadline has come and gone, and some major moves that will no doubt affect the outcome of the season went down yesterday. One side of the trade deadline that is often overlooked is when a player is traded, he either has to leave his family or move them to his new city of residence.

For some families, this is quite difficult when you consider that they may have kids in school, other family in close proximity, or any number of extraneous variables.
Former Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays veteran pitcher Roy Halladay was not among the players traded yesterday at the deadline, well because he is retired, but that did not stop him from tweeting out this hilarious blurb regarding his wife earlier today:
My wife was on the phone all day yesterday. When she hung up I ask what was going on. Said she was try'n to trade me, very little interest.

The only deal she had the other lady wouldn't include her lawn service! My wife tried to include the dog in the trade but still no go

Roy Halladay, please do not ever change.
