As we know yesterday afternoon the White Sox
acquired Alex Rios from the Jays as straight waiver claim, so the Blue Jays will receive nothing in return. Rios (28) will be a White Sox till 2014 with an option for the 2015. GM J.P. Ricciardi had this to say:
"This allows us to get out from under a contract and do more to address our club.
Other news:
- Brandon Webb will pitch next year, but hopes the D'Backs pick up his $8.5MM or they'll have to buy him out for $2MM.
- Gary Sheffield said that he would prefer not to be traded, but suggested that could all change, depending on where the Mets try to deal him.
- Olney hears that Doug Davis is currently on waivers while John Smoltz has cleared waivers.
- Olney also hears that the Rays might listen to offers regarding B.J. Upton this off-season.
