The White Sox reportedly tried to trade for Alex Rios before the trading deadline and were not successful. When the Toronto Blue Jays put Rios on waivers last week, the White Sox were the only major league team to put in a claim.
Tuesday PM, the Blue Jays released Rios, and he is now property of the White Sox. The Sox must pick up his huge contract, but they believe he is young enough and talented enough to be worth the price. He has had a disappointing season, but he is a talented player with speed and power.
The contracts of Sox sluggers Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye expire after this year, and it is unlikely they will resign both. This move also helps the Sox get younger.
