The Denver Post's Troy E. Renck says that talks between the Astros and Rockies have stalled, because Wade wants the Rockies to pick up the tab on Wandy, and give a prospect - catcher Willin Rosario - or a top young pitcher.
The Rockies don't want to do that, naturally.
Renck:
Colorado is prepared to take on Rodriguez's contract but is reluctant to give up a young player as well.
Rosario is 22 years old, and in 93 games at Double-A Tulsa, is hitting .253/.286/.458 with 16 walks in 388 PAs.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
