Mid-Morning Rumors

-The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Rays are deep in talks to acquire Jason Bay but no elite prospect has been offered and the chances on him staying are still very good. Buster Olney reports that the two teams are trying to bridge the gap in negotiations. Interest has cooled on Wilson.
-Ken Rosenthal reports that Manny Ramirez will likely stay for the rest of the season, the Phillies would only take him in a "giveaway". The Mariners' demands are too high for both Jarrod Washburn and Raul Ibanez, wh Arizona could be interested in but their need is diminished. The Braves also offered Will Ohman to the Angels, but no dice.
-Jon Heyman reports that the Mariners just asked an NL team for two top prospects in exchange for Washburn.
-The LA Times reports that the Dodgers aren't serious about Manny Ramirez.
-The Mariners aren't out to dump salary, says MLB.com's Jim Street.
-The Denver Post reports that the Rockies have interest in Josh Fogg, Jarrod Washburn, and Tim Redding. Manager Clint Hurdle wants to keep closer Brian Fuentes.
-The talks for Washburn are dead, says Newsday.
-The Detroit Free Press says that the Tigers probably won't deal for another relief pitcher, which would mean that the Twins would be in the lead for LaTroy Hawkins.
-Adam Everett will remain with the Twins.
