2:37pm: Rodriguez is likely to stay with the Astros, tweets Morosi. Jon Heyman points out that he's a candidate for an August deal.
1:51pm: The Yankees' talks for Rodriguez are officially dead, tweets Stark. Jon Heyman says the Yankees wanted the Astros to pick up half his contract. Nothing is close for now, but it looks like the Blue Jays or nothing for Wandy according to Stark.
1:46pm: The Astros don't want to pay down Rodriguez's contract, tweets Heyman, so a trade seems unlikely. Morosi says the Blue Jays have entered the bidding, however.
11:49am: There's a 50/50 chance of Rodriguez being traded somewhere, tweets Morosi. The Yankees have strong interest, tweets Stephen Goff.
11:20am: The Yankees and Astros discussed Wandy as recently as this morning, tweets Jon Paul Morosi.
11:10am: Rodriguez would have to fall into the Yankees' laps, tweets Jack Curry. The Astros would have to eat a "huge chunk" of his contract, tweets Buster Olney. The Astros are surprised by the lack of interest and haven't shown an indication they're willing to include a lot of money, tweets Sherman. Here's a link to my post earlier this month about whether Rodriguez is overpaid.
10:33am: The Yankees are trying for Astros lefty Wandy Rodriguez, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. However, Joel Sherman tweets that there is no sense from the Yankees' side that they are anywhere near a deal.
The Astros will move Rodriguez only if they get impact prospects, tweets Rosenthal. They'd have to pay a chunk of the $38.3MM that will be owed to Rodriguez through 2014 if he exercises his player option for that season.
