Boston and the Mets didn't make a claim according to http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/

Acquiring Rios wouldn't necessarily mean the end of Wise's stay I'd imagine.

Ozzie would demote Beckham before DFAing Wise.

ESPN speculation is around San Francisco and the Mets, Sox aren't mentioned.

If the Sox get Rios then Kotsay is probably on the way out. Wise goes nowhere. And watch Wise start in CF over Rios, too.

Of course the Sox aren't mentioned... according to ESPN the only Sox they know are the Red ones.

ESPN is aware that there are teams outside the Eastern time zone???

Well they're already wrong about the Mets.

Both teams would make some sense, San Fran moreso, but if I was reading what you posted earlier correctly, would he have to get past the whole AL before he got to either of them?

4:39pm: Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears from a high-ranking Mets official that the Mets did not claim Rios. J.P. Ricciardi didn't get into specifics with MLB.com's Jordan Bastian and just said it's normal to place players on waivers.

Wise has been the last guy off of the bench since Kotsay got here. Wise would be gone in a heartbeat.

That is true. AL teams get first dibs.

Yeah, he would have to go through the AL teams first.

I don't believe that at all.

Oy vey!

I don't believe that at all.

 

I think he has one AB since Kotsay got here, and that was the PH last night.

Wise will stay thanks to the PR department.

Teflon Dewayne?

And look what he did with it.

Yeah you can't get rid of the guy with "The Catch" makes me want to puke!

How about Wise for Rios? Now I'd stand up and applaud that.

Dewayne Wise is 2 for his last 2. One resulted in a home run, the other a game winning RBI single.

 

What's Ozzie waiting for? lol

Wise would have to clear waivers first, and Ozzie would be too worried that someone else would claim him.

It does make some sense from the Sox point of view.

 

The real question would be the money and whether ownership felt they could invest in another cheaper player next year and get similar production.

His ride off of the perfect game catch has nearly ended as it is. Acquiring Rios would be the end of him.
