SI.com's Jon Heyman identifies the GMs facing the most pressure heading into the second half of the season and passes along some rumors, too:

Despite "occasional rumblings" about Omar Minaya's job security, injuries are to blame for the Mets' disappointing start, so Minaya's bosses aren't about to blame him for the season.
The Nats plan on hiring a permanent GM soon and acting GM Mike Rizzo is in the running for the position.
Giants GM Brian Sabean saved one of his best showings for his walk year. He's put together a playoff contender and a talented crop of minor leaguers just as his deal's about to expire.
Royals GM Dayton Moore and Braves GM Frank Wren are expected to have some time to work with.
It doesn't look like Indians GM Mark Shapiro will ascend to club president this year.
Heyman likes the Phillies' acquisition of Pedro Martinez.
Mark Mulder could be the next pitcher to sign, as he's 95% ready, according to his agent.
Heyman thinks the Red Sox will be able to lock Jason Bay up once they start talking extension.
Look for the Reds to continue their hunt for outfielders.
