Rangers Claim Rios, but still have to work out deal.

[terpsfball09]

No deal as of noon. Looking like we're gonna move on. White sox asking for too much, and the way we've been playing right now we really dont even NEED him

True and about any cof would be an improvement over Murphy.

Rotoworld has a twitter post from Jim Bowden that suggests Rangers are balking at eating $17 million for Rios. I don't do twitter but it is interesting about the money aspect.

Let em keep him and his salary.

Oh well. Kind of knew this was gonna happen

Really, glad the FO will not cave in to that nonsense. I heard Bowden say that Willingham could hit the waiver wire soon. I think he was saying after he comes off the DL. Sure wish the Rockies who have crashed and burned would put Cuddyer out there.

I'm glad to see them crash and burn. Everybody knew they wouldn't contend but they fooled themselves into believing they would. Now you got jack shut when you could've got a couple decent prospects.

Cuddyer isn't passing through the NL

Cuddyer isn't passing through the NL

Yeah, I forgot about that.

 

[pegasusredleg]

No. Just no.

I am sure Hahn will be asking for the same package for Dunn. Do we should not even bother claiming him unless we are trying to block Oakland. Looking like Berkman is not coming back from the most recent news (not ready for rehab start). If the price is right (which it won't be) JD may consider Dunn.

Yep they had 0 pitching to begin with

No thanks. Dunn doesn't bring any value to the team and he certainly doesn't contribute to the ball we're trying to play.

Sure I kind of understand. If they are asking for a medium or top prospect we would expect CWS to eat a chunk of the salary.

Zero pitching really? Didn't they sign Roy Olt

 

[pegasusredleg]

No thanks. Dunn doesn't bring any value to the team and he certainly doesn't contribute to the ball we're trying to play.

You mean the double double chin gives it away?

 

[The Commish]

Got Rios. For Garcia apparently.

Yep. It's a done deal for Rios.

 

[PDay8810]

Yep. It's a done deal for Rios.

that's good news if true

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Player to be named later for Rios. Won't be Garcia.

 

[The Commish]

MLBTradeRumors says Garcia. But we shall see...
