According to a source, trade talks that would bring Jermaine Dye to Boston are dead.
Dye never was formally approached for his permission to approve a deal.
It is still possible that Dye could be traded before the non-waiver deadline at 4 p.m. ET. The Cubs, Diamondbacks and Angels could be possibilities.

Unless something changes in the next few hours, the Yankees won?t be getting Eric Gagne. Brian Cashman is holding on to Alan Horne and the rest of his upper-level prospects. Boston is reportedly willing to trade OF David Murphy and RHP Kason Gabbard.
The Cubs also are involved. If financial matters can be worked out, Gagne could end up in Boston or Chicago.

The Cubs are planning on starting Felix Pie in center in '08, and seem comfortable with Jacque Jones there for the time being.
But if they wanted to make a move that could help them in September and pay dividends in future years, center fielder Rocco Baldelli is due to return from a hamstring injury soon and the Devil Rays are content with keeping B.J. Upton in center.
Baldelli was a Lou Piniella favorite in Tampa, but is injury-prone and relatively expensive. He makes $750,000 this year and $2.25 million in '08. He has a $6 million option in '09, and a $4 million buyout.
