From the Orioles side, I'm hearing their interest was based on the assumption that they could get Franklin in a deal centered around Zach Britton and the talks pretty much died there. I think Eduardo Rodriguez would make a lot of sense from both sides, but not sure that's something either team would pursue. Gausman's definitely not going anywhere, especially for Franklin - he's their crown jewel, probably less likely to be traded than Davis or Machado. Tim Berry is a prospect not mentioned in your article who seems to be getting mentioned in a lot of trade rumors.
Still think Franklin ends up going to the Mets. Suspect they're too cheap to sign Drew, and Boras really throwing down the pressure on their SS situation. Franklin is their only way out.
