Kalapse Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 06:59 PM) To the team who won the claim, is there anything else (other teams) blocking them from getting Rios? Id assume theyd have to pass players through waivers to make a trade, so teams could block that. But also i assume that if the jays would not accept any players and instead just let him and his contract go to the other team, then there is nothing any other team can do about it sorry for my ignorance / if it has been posted already The team that won the original claim has exclusive trade rights through Tuesday, the Jays can only deal with this team and no other team can block the trade. If the Jays pull Rios off waivers he then could not be traded until the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 What Kalapse said. And if they Rios got claimed by a team the Jays simply do not want to trade Rios to, they can pull him back off of waivers. However, the penalty for doing so, is, as Kalapse said, they cannot trade him until the offseason. This is to prevent a team from continuing to put a player on waivers and then pull him off until the team of their choice happens to win the claim.

AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Verducci on MLB Tonight said he didn't get past the AL but doesn't know who. Cross off the NL and the Red Sox and Blue Jays (of course) Our odds just went up dramatically.

shipps Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Bernstein was saying the Sox would be on the books to pay him 12 mil a year after next year for 3 seasons after that. This guy is not worth that kind of annual money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is not worth that kind of annual money. Well, not so fast. Over the past three years he has averaged close to an .850 OPS with excellent defense and 25 stolen base potential. He certainly could be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Found this as well, take it with a gain of salt: "I was watching the Blue Jays vs. Orioles broadcast on MASN and they said it was the White Sox who claimed Rios."

Over the past three years he has averaged close to an .850 OPS with excellent defense and 25 stolen base potential. He certainly could be worth it. Not in this baseball economic world. 12 mil a year should get you some great numbers all around these days. That is why the Jays are desperate to dump him because he isnt even close to being worth it. The guy has ability but he has yet to show he is one of the elite.

iWiN4PreP Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Would it be overpaying? Maybe... But he has the potentional, the athleticism to be more then worth it. And worst come to worst, he has the steady defense and steady speed to be a productive everyday player. We are possibly the owrst defensive team in the al, and with our stud pitching, the number 1 thing we need to do in this offseason is get our D fixed. This would help solve that and give us speed + a could be GREAT hitter. Im so in on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
