No rumor on this one- the Angels, after failing to make a deal, the Angels have DFA'ed Shea Hillenbrand. That gives the team 10 days to get something done or see Hillenbrand walk away. Now for the rumor- According to Newsday, the Yankees are involved again in talks with the Angels.
The Minnesota Twins are the latest team to tell the Chicago Cubs, "um, no" to acquiring (or in this case, reacquiring) Jacques Jones. The Marlins balked about an earlier deal as well because the Cubs aren't willing to pick up enough of Jones's salary.
Talks between the Mets and White Sox have intesified concerning Jose Contreras. Although Contreras would rather stay put, the Chicago Daily Herald reports that Contreras is willing to waive his no-trade clause.

Yankees Eyeing Hillenbrand
According to today's NY Post, the Yankees have talked to the LA Angels about acquiring Shea Hillenbrand. The Yankees spoke with Hillenbrand before the season, but he was looking for a multi-year deal and the Yankees didn't want to give more than a 1 year deal. The Angels gave him a 1 year deal with an option/buyout for 2008. The option would have been automatic had Hillenbrand reach 600 plate appearance this season.
Problem is Hillenbrand has stunk out the joint this season and lost his starting job. He is hitting just .246 with 3 HRs and 18 RBI, and has had only 175 PAs.
He is an upgrade, albeit not a large one, over Josh Phelps, and may come cheaply at this point.
