The Rangers can increase their offer, or else they can spend the rest of the season with Oddibe McDowell playing right field. Tick Tick Tick Tick. |

Hasn't been mentioned in this thread (at least I don't think so), but Fangraphs has Rios with the 7th highest wins above replacement among RFs since 2012. Hardly the bum some people are claiming, and certainly not someone you give away.
For a basis of comparison, the man he could replace on the Rangers, Nelson Cruz, is 23rd on the list. |

Nick Martinez has a chance to be a good one, I'm actually okay w/that; I'm starting to be a Martin Perez non-believer; Luke Jackson looks good and would love to have him, but oh well...; and Odor we don't need because the only true organizational position depth the Sox have is at 2B.

Indeed. A voice of reason in this thread.
Even good players can dog it sometimes. Live with it. The numbers speak another story.

And to those of you that keep saying that in the off-season Rios cannot be dealt because there are cheaper options, I ask you this: What's cheaper, Rios at 1/13 or 2/26 or Choo at 5/70 or Cruz at 3/45, etc... Most teams look at the total money of the deal, not the per year cost. |

I really don't care about the salary because it's going into Jerry's retirement fund, but the idea that the market is going to shrink this winter and that some team is going to give up an A prospect for one year of Rios is simply absurd. And the Sox aren't making the playoffs with or without Rios next year. Sure, I wouldn't dump Rios for the return Kenny got, but even a decent prospect is the best to expect. |

Sox fans just amaze me.
They would build statues for bum ass "folk heroes" like an Aaron Rowand but fail to see true 5 tool talent in a guy like Alex Rios. Look, I'm all for trading the guy to rebuild this team. Same way I was all for trading away Jake Peavy. But wake the **** up. Alex Rios, even at the current price tag, is an asset for this team. You just don't give him away. One thing I appreciate about Hahn is that he's not looking to make moves just to appease the (stupid) masses. |

The situation where the White Sox got him for free and this waiver period are not even close. |

Alex Rios 5 years with White Sox: .269/.310/.430 + 0 playoff games (total salary with Sox- about $45M + $17M owed) |

Exactly and the free part is most significant. No one has any idea if the money spent for Rios salary during his Sox tenure would have been used in a more significant way to help the team. (It may not have even been spent) A return now makes the original deal even a bigger plus deal.
