I was listening to JP Ricciardi, general manager of the Blue Jays, a few days ago. He had just put Alex Rios on waivers and was telling a reporter, "It happens all the time. We're just testing the waters."Sure. And have I got some stock to sell you.
Rios is gone because of his own underperformance, but more importantly the underperformance of the whole team. The Jays spent big bucks on Rios and Vernon Wells. Result? Another .500 season. Somebody had to be jettisoned in order to make some financial space for next year. Scott Rolen went last week, and then it was Rios' turn. Enter the White Sox, who scooped Rios up this evening.
