Here’s a quick summary from the staff of AOL FanHouse on the latest MLB Trade Deadline Rumors:

Contract talks are ongoing for Washington Nationals first baseman Adam Dunn. “We’ve been in communication with him [on an extension] for a while now,” GM Mike Rizzo said. “We haven’t made a lot of progress. If it doesn’t get done by the trade deadline we’ll probably keep him through the season and continue working on it.” (Ed Price)

The San Francisco Giants are interested in Scott Podsednik, according to a Major League source close to FanHouse. The San Diego Padres are not going after Podsednik. (Jeff Fletcher and Tom Krasovic)

The Arizona Diamondbacks are entertaining offers for right-handed pitcher Edwin Jackson. We heard the Washington Nationals want him. (Steve Phillips)

The Florida Marlins are not likely to hire a strong-willed, big-name manager like Bobby Valentine. Interim manager Fredi Rodriguez may be a good fit to keep the job. (Jeff Fletcher)

Jorge Cantu may be “falling in the eyes of some suitors.” Manager Fredi Rodriguez thinks the trade speculation has become a distraction. (Jeff Fletcher)

The Red Sox have interest in A’s reliever Michael Wuertz, but Oakland would need to be overwhelmed to move him. (Jeff Fletcher)
