Source: Texas Rangers claim Alex Rios off waivers, not guaranteed to land him http://ppt.cc/Xttr According to a Major League source, the Rangers on Thursday were awarded the prevailing claim on Chicago White Sox outfielder Alex Rios. The White Sox can either work a trade with the Rangers within 72 hours, allow Texas to simply take on Rios' contact via the waiver claim or pull him back from waivers. The Rangers had shown some interest in Rios before the trade deadline but his age (32), his lack of impact power and a contract worth $13.5 million for 2014 made the club leery. Texas' situation has changed since the non-waiver trade deadline passed July 31. On Monday, outfielder Nelson Cruz was suspended by MLB for receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis of America, a defunct anti-aging clinic in Miami. Rios has a .277 batting average this season with 22 doubles, 12 home runs and 55 RBIs. A knock on Rios is that he has never hit more than 25 home runs and has spent much of his career in a rather home run-friendly ballpark. Rios arguably had his best season in 2012 when he hit .304 with 25 home runs and 91 RBIs with the White Sox. -- 應該只是試試風向，最後能來的機會可能不大... --
