Sox Awarded Claim On Manny But He's Not Heading Here Yet

The White Sox have been awarded the claim on Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez after no National League team claimed him and the other two teams that put a claim on him - Tampa Bay and Texas, according to sources - had higher winning percentages. But the Sox are still a few steps from calling Manny one of their own. The Dodgers don't necessarily have to work out a trade for Manny with the Sox and Manny has his own no-trade clause he can enforce to stay in L.A. Or the Dodgers just simply decide to keep Manny. The deadline for the Sox to work out a trade is 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.
