Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) Shedding Rios' salary is not areason to trade Thornton for someone we probably can't use. I think Rios can be dealt by himself. Anything is possible. I was told sometime earlier no one would take Teahan either If someone was willing to take Rios' or Dunn's entire contract, the deal would be done. KW wouldn't waste his time negotiating and giving the other club or clubs any time to change their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Probably arguing over who wants to pay the 42 mil still owed to Rios in his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kageman129 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I don't really care who you have to package Rios with . . . Just get him out of here. Start the rebuild, I'd rather go to the games/watch the games with young players losing rather than seeing veterans not trying/losing.

WHITESOXRANDY Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 My sources tell me that several teams are interested in Alex Rios right now and are willing to send the Sox two lesser prospects with the Sox absorbing 110 % of Rios' contract.

If he hit 25 homers the rest of the season we'd probably win it all. But it seems like the best we can hope for him is an occasional single off the wall.

But he also said Hudson would be nothing because he had a rough start, there is no "overpay" when prospects are involved, and E-Jax was an outstanding pickup. Also, he believes Ozzie is an amazing manager. So, what Balta said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 http://www.brotherlyglove.com/2011/05/31/t...the-luxury-tax/ $178 million, would be amazing to have that kind of a payroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
