So when do we find out who claimed him?
per MLB rules, you can't announce a claim unless you have a trade worked out.
We'll just have to wait for the media leaks.

I had a bad feeling this would happen to Mark after the perfect game
Mark actually said it himself since this happened after his 1st no hitter. Him and the team went downhill that season.

Watching NJ get pwned in this thread (at least player performance wise) is quite funny.
How am I getting pwned? Did we trade for Wagner?

somebody posted on mlbtr that they were watching the blue jays vs orioles game and claims they said they heard the white sox claimed him.
Too Slow
Found this as well, take it with a gain of salt:
"I was watching the Blue Jays vs. Orioles broadcast on MASN and they said it was the White Sox who claimed Rios."
MASN is the O's station.
AL waiver order as of today:
1) KC
2) BAL
3) CLE
4) OAK
5) TOR (Cross off)
6) MIN
7) CWS
8) SEA
9) TB
10) DET
11) TEX
12) BOS (Cross off)
13) NYY
14) LAA
Verducci on MLB Tonight said he didn't get past the AL but doesn't know who.
Cross off the NL and the Red Sox and Blue Jays (of course)
Our odds just went up dramatically.
