"For me, it would be a flip of the coin," Halladay said after being named the starting pitcher for the American League for Tuesday's All-Star Game at Busch Stadium.
Halladay, who deftly maneuvered around a barrage of questions for more than 15 minutes, said he would not mind going to the National League or a bigger market.
"I'd rather hit than face Jeter, A-Rod, Matsui and Teixeira," Halladay said.
He added: "I think there is so much that goes into it. I'm still not 100 percent sure which direction we're going in in Toronto. If Toronto does decide to do something, it's really going to be something that helps the organization. There's going to be a lot of pieces; it's going to be complicated. I think it's going to be kind of 50-50."
Halladay, who is under contract for next season at $15.75 million, has a no-trade clause and would have to approve any deal. He did not say whether an extension would have to be part of any deal.
The Blue Jays have sent scouts throughout the majors and minors as they try to gauge the talent pool they might get back for one of the game's best pitchers.
"It's a tough situation, but you always want to win," Halladay said. "You want that chance to win, that's every player's dream. For me, I'm looking [at] it as they're exploring options. Something may come of it, something may not. I'm trying to keep the emotions out of it as much as I can."
