Danny Knobbler tweeted scouts say Rios is playing with zero energy.

 

If I was a scout, I wouldn't care about Rios' energy in a meaningless game. You'd have to hope that being in a pennant race and the chance to make the postseason for the first time in his career would be enough motivation.

Maybe, but you aren't going to give up anything of significance to find out, and that is what matters for the Sox.

It's not like he's been a s***ty player for a team that has been out of it from the get-go

Teams can just review film from last year's 2nd half to see how he responded to a pennant race. If a team doesn't want him because of his energy, they probably weren't ever serious about him.

Heyman said Rios has a good reputation around the league...so I would throw that report out the window

Damn, so he is hitting .421/.450/.684/1.134 since the AS break and he hasn't even been trying?!
