Heyman's Latest: K-Rod, Jackson, Twins, Reyes

Let's round up the latest from SI.com's Jon Heyman...

• The Mets were telling interested clubs that Francisco Rodriguez would be with a new team "within 48 hours" of the reliever's decision to switch agents and hire Scott Boras. The trade with the Brewers was announced four days later.
• Heyman lists 40 players that could be traded before the deadline, headlined by the usual suspects: Carlos Beltran, Heath Bell, B.J. Upton, and Josh Willingham.
• "Calls are coming in" about Edwin Jackson, and the White Sox will have the rotation depth to move him once John Danks returns from the disabled list.
• Jose Reyes has told the Mets he won't negotiate a contract extension during the season, but he hasn't completely ruled out an extension with a new team if traded.
• The Mets are "unlikely" to trade Mike Pelfrey, despite his climbing salary. 
• The Twins are telling teams they're going for it.
• Beltran's salary would be an issue for both the Indians and Reds, though Cleveland is looking for an outfield bat.
• In a tweet, Heyman notes that the Reds and Phillies match up well with the Padres for a trade, since both teams are looking for a right-handed outfield bat and bullpen help. San Diego has Ryan Ludwick and a stable of quality relievers to offer.
