The White Sox have requested waivers of Dewayne Wise for the purpose of granting his unconditional release, according to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune (via Twitter). Wise appeared in 30 games for the White Sox this season, slashing .234/.258/.328 in April and May.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Rios and Wells have been claimed. Wells by the phillies and Rios by an unknown team. Is it someone that actually wants to negotiate a deal or just a team being a dick and blocking someone else?

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Well Mac told me to to tell you to go FUCK YOURSELF!!! ..So now it's been said .. .

Rios to Rangers, plus $1m for PTBNL

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

All the reporting on the waiver claim was that there was no chance of a deal between the two sides. That the Sox were asking for way too much in return for Rios and the Rangers weren't budging. Then BAM!, he's shipped out for a PTBNL. Wonder what changed overnight?

JERRY MUST HAVE SAID GET RID OF RIOS TO SAVE SOME $$?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I see the Sox unloading Rios as a sign the skipper will be back next season.

Just this week I heard bernstein authoritatively tell a caller that the Sox don't need to fire Ventura. His contract is up, they can let him go. This was parroted by Larry. I looked it up because I was pretty sure he is signed through next season. Yeah, he is. Is it really too much to ask that a guy who hosts a sports radio show know what he's talking about when it comes to sports? Or at least find out before he scolds a caller?

That's real nice. I think Ventura is a no nonsense guy. After Rios loafed to 1st in a game,he had seen enough. I bet he went to Hahn and said "move him".

The Chicago White Sox have signed shortstop Tommy Manzella to a minor league contract, a source has confirmed to MLB Daily Dish. The 30-year old will report to Double-A Birmingham after being released by the Blue Jays earlier in the week.

After signing with the Rockies last offseason, Manzella appeared in 32 games for Triple-A Colorado Springs to start the season, and hit .190 with 10 RBI before being released in late May. He signed with the Blue Jays on June 4th, and reported to Double-A New Hampshire. In 53 games between Colorado Springs and New Hampshire this season, Manzella has hit .220 with 20 RBI in 173 at-bats.

Manzella appeared in 90 big league games with the Astros in 2009 and 2010, hitting .224 with 1 RBI. He spent the last two months of his 2012 season in the White Sox' system with Triple-A Charlotte after seeing time in the Brewers and Diamondbacks organizations to begin the year.
