Is Alex Rios headed to the South Side?
After months of speculation (and after the Trade Deadline), the Toronto Blue Jays are once again rumored to be making a big move. However, it’s not Roy Halladay that the Jays are shopping. This time around, the Blue Jays put outfielder Alex Rios on waivers. It was announced yesterday that Rios was claimed by an unnamed team. After much speculation, it appears that the Chicago White Sox were the team that put in a claim on Rios. So, what exactly is Kenny Williams playing at here?
