NEW YORK, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- The Chicago White Sox claimed two-time all-star outfielder Alex Rios off waivers from Toronto Tuesday, giving up nothing in exchange.
"Alex Rios was claimed off waivers and we awarded that player to the White Sox," Blue Jays General Manager J.P. Ricciardi said. "Nobody came back in return. Alex gets to go to Chicago and the White Sox assume his contract. This allows us some more financial flexibility to address our club going forward."
