this might have been covered earlier, but I'm a bit behind, I listened to mlb on XM for about 4 hours this afternoon, they seemed to discount any talk of the Nationals trading Espinosa to the Rays saying both sides had shot it down.
Rizzo also said he didn't call anyone, he just fielded calls from other teams. If that's true, the Rays probably called about Espinosa and Morse for Shields. Rizzo probably said Morse only. Talks probably stopped there.
