joejoesox Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Could the Sox actually win with a waiver claim this year? Nobody in the AL can block the claim except for the team the guy plays for right, just wondering if the waiver wire could actually benefit the Sox this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Alex Rios acquisition years ago, it would have to be a bad team trying to dump a bloated contract for an above average player. The Sox got two good seasons out of Rios and then traded him for Leury Garcia, and it only cost them money. Edited July 13 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
