If the Mariners hadn't of cut Milton Bradley earlier in the year, that could have been your deal for Rios. It's a player in a situation like Soriano or where Bradley was earlier in the year that I expect a deal to happen for at some point. It's two teams just moving dead weight. Balance out the dollars and see if the change of scenery does anything for either player.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Dude, there's no f***ing way. He's harder to deal than Alfonso Soriano. That could be your deal. Before the Sox just eat the contract, I think they'll trade him for another underperforming, overpaid player elsewhere in the league. You might as well take a chance and see if a change of scenery for someone can make a difference before eating all that money. Similar to what the Sox did in the Borchard for Thornton trade....just on a larger scale.

I still think you may see Rios traded before the end of the season

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) Plus one of these days Dunn will start hitting again Also, by having Dunn bat with runners on first and second, you took the shift out of the equation. It gave him a much greater chance to succeed in that at bat.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) Not sure what the market is for underperforming overpaid slackers these days. Rasmus just brought EJax and a couple of relievers.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:43 AM) So you guys don't think Rios will get traded than? I think there's a shot. We'll likely have to eat at least a million per season in salary, but I think Kenny would be open to all offers

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) So who gets moved for Miller? That would put us at 26 on the 25 right? Rios getting traded?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:09 AM) So Toronto got Rasmus for Frasor, Stewart, Patterson, Dotel and Rzepczynski Hell of a deal by AA And they also had to pay $10 million (money owed to Teahen and he will never contribute to that team)

Having a former Saluki join the Sox is never a bad thing!

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) Ozzie says he will find a way to get Rios and De Aza in the linup....wow Ozzie just needs to go away He may not have a choice of Kenny trades Rios in the upcoming days

Any word on moves the Indians and Tigers might be working on to counter this?

This frees up enough funds we can go after Pujols in the offseason!

This news adds to our bench as well.....now Rios is available as a pinch hitter and defensive substitution.

No tweets from ESPY_Teahen yet? Wonder if the dog is staying in Chicago?

I'm always in

Excluding two plays, this has been a real solid game defensively for the Sox.

Nice play by Rios to end the inning.

I can't see this deal happening unless the Q for Beachy trade takes place (or something similar). This would leave us with too many outfielders, plus we'll really need that sixth starter in September. With two key doubleheaders against division rivals in that month, do you really want to count on a rehabbed Tony Pena to make these starts???

Too bad Kenny couldn't get the trade done for another right handed reliever before this game.

This Soria kid is terrible

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) Jackson's coming out to try to finish this one, regardless of runs scored here. Everyone agree? If we hadn't of scored, I would have went to Santos to start the 9th. With the run in, I let Jackson start the inning. If any runner gets on, its straight to the pen.

Oh man!!!!!!!!! Thats a White Sox winner!

Can of corn

Tribe win 6-5
