Peter Gammons is reporting that the Manny to the Marlins deal is dead. The Marlins are asking for more money than that to just cover Manny's contract. In the end the Red Sox would be giving up Manny, approximately 9 million dollars, and prospects for Jason Bay.

-Ken Rosenthal reports that the Reds have agreed to deal Ken Griffey Jr to the White Sox, this is pending Junior's approval. Wow. Buster Olney thinks that Griffey will accept the deal and be dealt to the South Side of Chicago.

Ken Ronsethal reports that top Marlins prospects Ryan Tucker and Mike Stanton will not be traded, and that could hold things up. BP reports that the Pirates

Jayson Stark is reporting that the Rays have spoken to the Reds regarding Adam Dunn. While Jason Bay is the first choice, the Rays are keeping and eye on Dunn in case the blockbuster Marlins/Red Sox/Pirates deals goes through.

-MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports that there's a lot of speculation that the Marlins have traded Mike Jacobs to the Giants for Bengie Molina. Florida has a lot of infield types and not a lot of catching, and San Francisco could sure use a big, young bat in that lineup even if he barely gets on base. More from me tomorrow, it'll be a crazy day. Good night...

-1050 ESPN Radio's Rich Cuttino reports that the players in the trade are good except for Manny Ramirez's option year that's holding it up along with the prospects. There are 3 teams including the Mets involved in Brian Fuentes, but the Rockies probably won't trade him. He thinks that Omar Minaya likes the team's vibe and may not do anything.

John Perrotto of the Beaver County Times is reporting that the three team deal that would send Manny to the Marlins and Jason Bay to Boston could be expanded. The Red Sox would recieve Jack Wilson in exchange for Jed Lowrie who would go to the Pirates, and the Bucs like BoSox prospect Hunter Jones, a solid lefty reliever in AAA who would go a long way towards replacing John Grabow.

Bill Ladson of MLB.com is reporting that GM Jim Bowden doesn't expect to trade any veterans before the trade deadline.

According to Jayson Stark, the Yankees are on the verge of trading LaTroy Hawkins for a low-minor leaguer. I really don't understand the why the Astros are buying when they have virtually no shot of making the playoffs.

-The Tigers have traded C Ivan Rodriguez to the Yankees for enigmatic reliever Kyle Farnsworth. New York just got Damaso Marte in a trade an had an expendable bullpen arm and were woefully thin at catcher and got a good contact hitter in Pudge who's decent defensively. Farnsworth will play a major role in the Detroit bullpen and the trade of Rodriguez allows Brandon Inge to catch every day.-Jerry

-MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports that the Braves had a deal on Friday for Jason Bay in exchange for four minor leaguers but the deal was nixed by Pirates ownership. There is still interest in Bay and two players that would likely get dealt are SS Brent Lillibridge, and OF Brandon Jones and two others including a pitcher would have to be included.-The Seattle Times reports that the Mariners may wait

-The St Pete Times reports that Joe Maddon said that the chances of the Rays making a deadline deal is 50-50. Brian Fuentes could be an upgrade.-The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the Twins players aren't asking management to make a deal. -The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Dodgers are still the main suitors for Jack Wilson though the Tigers are a bit interested.-Lefty reliever

-ESPN's Keith Law reports that the Braves have at least four suitors waiting to acquire Mark Teixeira.-Buster Olney reports that Twins AAA SS Adam Everett could be a good fit for the Dodgers. -Toronto placed Brian Tallet on the DL, likely eliminating the posibility of the lefty being traded.

-Ken Rosenthal has buried the Braves, and thinks that they should start selling off their player including Mark Teixeira. Arizona is reluctant to deal either Conor Jackson or Chad Tracy, but Rosenthal believes it'd be wise to deal Tracy and a second piece like Micah Owings. If Boston moved Manny, they'd be in a great position to acquire Teixeira. He thinks that the Yankees, Dodgers, and Rays will

-SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that the Red Sox will probably not deal Manny. Thanks, captain obvious. It'll be hard for Seattle to get better if they don't deal any of their players. They asked for too much from the Yankees for Jarrod Washburn and have asked the Mets for lefty Jon Niese (an untouchable) for Raul Ibanez. Heyman finds it hard to imagine the Rockies trading either Matt Holliday or

The Diamondbacks have emerged as a suitor for Fuentes. The Marlins would be willing to trade Mike Jacobs and Cody Ross for relief help, and the Rays could be interested in Jeff Kent.

-The KC Star reports that the Yankees are looking at Brian Bannister as someone they can insert into the rotation if the Jarrod Washburn talks don't work out. Something involving Melky Cabrera is a posibility. The Yankees has offered Cabrera and Robinson Cano for Zach Greinke and Mark Teahan, but KC rejected it.

Just about every team has reported to training camp this year, and some players will have more challanges than the others.
