The Blue Jays just wanted to get rid of his contract, so the Blue Jays traded him to the White Sox in exchange for picking up his contract. The White Sox traded him to the Rangers during the 2013 season for Leury García after the Rangers claimed Ríos from waivers. This was also a salary dump, and so it helped the White Sox sign Jose Abréu.
