Am I reading this right, the ChiSox just got Alex Rios striaght up on a waiver claim?

I'm more than a little surprised that Riccardi didn't at least try to get a prospect in return.

Responses:

Yea...Riccardi might have tried but the Sox played chicken with them...."Fine, you keep the 12mil a season." - Will Hunting Aug 11, 09:11 7
- Riccciardi should have said, "ok". (link) - musubi Aug 11, 09:22
- This clears the way for Snider, and saves a bunch of money on an overpaid guy. I'm ok with it. -- nm - Subversive Aug 11, 09:15 5
  - And the White Sox lose half their payroll next year so they can withstand a mediocre contract. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 09:16 4
    - Now if the Jays can only find a suck to take Vernon Wells and his paltry 12 HR. -- nm - Subversive Aug 11, 09:19 3
      - Now Well, that one *is* a bad contract. (nm) - musubi Aug 11, 09:23
      - you may not want to open with that. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 09:22
      - *sucker* -- nm - Subversive Aug 11, 09:19

- Which is really not that bad. - musubi Aug 11, 09:10 3
  - It's 12mil a year for an OFer who's about league average OPS for his career. - Will Hunting Aug 11, 09:13

    - Dave Cameron (of USS Mariner and Fangraphs) says it much better than I can (link) - musubi Aug 11, 09:20
