Jon Heyman had a series of tweets yesterday afternoon following the deadline where he gave some info about Wandy and the Yankees, such as:
The Yankees were willing to take about $21m of Wandy's remaining $38m. They're now unlikely to revisit Wandy after he clears waivers, given Banuelos' progress. The Indians and Blue Jays were only interested in Wandy as part of a three-way trade, presumably sending Wandy to the Yankees, after all.
So who knows if Wandy gets moved this month.
Rosenthal had this to say about the deal that wasn't:
The Astros, on the other hand, were willing to pay $2 million of Rodriguez’s salary this season or $5 million if his option for 2014 were exercised, sources said. But the teams, unable to bridge the financial gap, never even got to the point of discussing names.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
