August 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) I suspect this is the end of Dewayne Wise. Somehow, some way, Dewayne will hang on.
August 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) Very glad that my scenario of about an hour ago is totally wrong! Woo ! Where does he bat in the lineup? Do we DH Dye right now and bench Thome??
August 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 06:39 PM) So is it Wise or Kotsay we drop? Don't answer with your head, answer with your gut. Wise can't play 1st. It's a done deal. Kotsay is here to stay.
August 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Time to change that thread title again. Nice work, KW. Dude, I already did that. Just waiting for official, non-twittery confirmation.
August 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Where does he bat in the lineup? Do we DH Dye right now and bench Thome?? Against lefties sure. Or give Pods a day off. Or give Quentin extra time off. Treat it like the halos treat their OF for now; someone has to sit every day, do it based on matchups and rest.
August 10, 200916 yr You think this will allow to give Big Jim some rest and JD at DH while Rios spells the three?
August 10, 200916 yr to be fair, I highly doubt this is the end of Wise in a Sox uniform. He'll go through waivers, and I imagine he clears (though with his heroics of the past few weeks, some team may put in a claim for him). Assuming he does clear, he's back up in September when rosters expand.

August 10, 200916 yr Going to add this confirmation out of Toronto news. JEFF BLAIR Globe and Mail Update Last updated on Monday, Aug. 10, 2009 06:38PM EDT The Toronto Blue Jays have called a press conference for Monday evening to announce they have sent outfielder Alex Rios to the Chicago White Sox. Toronto does not receive a player in return. The team had reportedly placed Rios on waivers with the hope of dealing him. MORE TO COME
August 10, 200916 yr Woohoo If Rios can play to his potential this could be a major steal for the Sox.
August 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Woohoo If Rios can play to his potential this could be a major steal for the Sox. We just grabbed a 28 year old, 2 time all star without having to give up anything but money. Didn't even have to lose a draft pick like signing that type of guy as a FA would require.
August 10, 200916 yr Why would you even think about putting any player on irrevocable waivers in August? Thats just dumb. It was reported the 6 teams put a claim in on Rios. Only MLB and Toronto knows for sure who those teams were. Over the past 4 days, I bet Ricciardi has talked to each one of those front offices about what they would give up in a trade in the offseason. Which is another part of the game. Does JP believe these other GMs and try the offseason market with Rios hoping to start a bidding war? Does KW think that other teams are tell JP they will offer more than what the White Sox (or the team that claimed him) are lying or are they really going to offer that in the offseason? If KW thinks that JP thinks that those teams are being truthful, KW has to up his offer. JP's job is to make KW think that he thinks they are being truthful. 12:30pm is the deadline for the transaction tomorrow. So, imo, if we don't hear anything by 1:30pm, the Rios wasn't acquired.
August 10, 200916 yr This is one of the better White Sox transaction seasons ever. This is almost Bears-esque

August 10, 200916 yr So our center field nightmares are finally over. I'm sick of wondering every off season who our center fielder is going to be. Good move KW...
