Friend of Nordhagen Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) I suspect this is the end of Dewayne Wise. Somehow, some way, Dewayne will hang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCangelosi Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) Very glad that my scenario of about an hour ago is totally wrong! Woo ! Where does he bat in the lineup? Do we DH Dye right now and bench Thome?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 06:39 PM) So is it Wise or Kotsay we drop? Don't answer with your head, answer with your gut. Wise can't play 1st. It's a done deal. Kotsay is here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against lefties sure. Or give Pods a day off. Or give Quentin extra time off. Treat it like the halos treat their OF for now; someone has to sit every day, do it based on matchups and rest.

witesoxfan Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 to be fair, I highly doubt this is the end of Wise in a Sox uniform. He'll go through waivers, and I imagine he clears (though with his heroics of the past few weeks, some team may put in a claim for him). Assuming he does clear, he's back up in September when rosters expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Going to add this confirmation out of Toronto news. JEFF BLAIR Globe and Mail Update Last updated on Monday, Aug. 10, 2009 06:38PM EDT The Toronto Blue Jays have called a press conference for Monday evening to announce they have sent outfielder Alex Rios to the Chicago White Sox. Toronto does not receive a player in return. The team had reportedly placed Rios on waivers with the hope of dealing him.

We just grabbed a 28 year old, 2 time all star without having to give up anything but money. Didn't even have to lose a draft pick like signing that type of guy as a FA would require.

Shamrock4Life Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Why would you even think about putting any player on irrevocable waivers in August? Thats just dumb. It was reported the 6 teams put a claim in on Rios. Only MLB and Toronto knows for sure who those teams were. Over the past 4 days, I bet Ricciardi has talked to each one of those front offices about what they would give up in a trade in the offseason. Which is another part of the game. Does JP believe these other GMs and try the offseason market with Rios hoping to start a bidding war? Does KW think that other teams are tell JP they will offer more than what the White Sox (or the team that claimed him) are lying or are they really going to offer that in the offseason? If KW thinks that JP thinks that those teams are being truthful, KW has to up his offer. JP's job is to make KW think that he thinks they are being truthful. 12:30pm is the deadline for the transaction tomorrow. So, imo, if we don't hear anything by 1:30pm, the Rios wasn't acquired.
