Get something for this bum or just let the Rangers eat the rest of his contract and tell the guy not to let the door hit his ass on the way out.

 

[Rustysurf83]

Sox will end up pulling him back IMO. The Rangers won't give up anyone of worth, or likely anything at all, so you may as well just pay him the final seven weeks of the season and try to get something in return this winter.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

That's what the sox will do if they can't deal him to texas

Per the Espn.com article

The White Sox were fielding trade offers for Rios before the July 31 deadline but never found a match. The Rangers and Pittsburgh Pirates were reportedly in the mix. A league source told Levine that negotiations with the Rangers ended when the White Sox wanted 20-year-old second base prospect Jurickson Profar.

I wouldn't budge from that. Profar hasn't lit up the majors. Texas has a goof pitching prospect on their team who is a starter but we need hitting. Rios gives them 12 HR and 55 RBI and a decent OBP with 20+ stolen bases and a decent batting avg.

If you were Texas would you give the Sox Profar for Rios?

If they really think they got a chance this year, I would if I were them.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Yes I would give up profar. They need Rios to get to the playoffs

From Scott merkin
Rangers Claim Rios – Trade Unlikley
Major League sources have confirmed that the Rangers claimed White Sox OF Alex Rios on trade waivers. The Rangers have until tomorrow to complete a trade for Rios, but sources say a deal is not likely. The two sides had multiple discussions before the non-waiver trade deadline but could not a agree on a deal. The White Sox were asking for Pitcher Martin Perez, Pitcher Luke Jackson and Infielder Rougned Odor – the Rangers were not interested in parting with those players for Rios.

Man if Han can pull something off that is a ton of cash we disposed of this year.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Ya. It appears unlikely but **** em. If you don't wana give up something halfway decent then you're not getting him.

Exactly, we have the freedom to sit back just a little and wait for the perfect move.

 

[DewsSox79]

if hahn gets picky with specs and the deal doesnt happen and lets say he tears his acl...or something else happens you will all be bitching. fact. so stop stating that we dont have to move him....we actually do.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

I wouldn't ***** at Hahn. If we could get more in the offseason then don't do it now. The ACL is not in Hahn's hands. Ofcourse that scenario would suck

I'm hearing the Rangers aren't optimistic about landing Rios. But it's certainly worth a try. White Sox asking for too much.

MLB source said White Sox did not ask for Profar for Rios. Very adamant about denial.

JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm 1h
White Sox are not getting Perez, Jackson or Odor for Rios but if price drops to Nick Martinez it could get done...tick tick tick tock

Rangers Claim Alex Rios

we are lucky we have a team that wants him. the guy has been a disaster since we got him.

 

[nickofypres]

I wouldn't say a disaster. Not lived up to expectations/the contract? Absolutely.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

It's not a disaster. His first year was but overall no. Just hope I wake up and hear he's dealt. Love to clear his $$ and a spot for Garcia. Wonder if Dunn or ramirez will get claimed.
What time tomorrow do they have to workout a deal by?

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

@ESPNBruceLevine: White Sox will want Martin and may have to settle for Leri Garcia and other prospects
