There are a few teams interested in Alex Rios as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches.
According to sources, the Rangers, Giants and Diamondbacks are watching Rios from city-to-city. Rios had a career year for Chicago in 2012, batting .304 with 25 home runs and 91 RBIs.
"It is tough this time of the year when the deadline approaches and teams start talking about moving people," Rios said. "It is what it is. Sometimes management has no choice but to make some moves in order to get things going again. This is just a part of the game and we will all have to deal with hearing our names in trade rumors this month."
Rios has a limited no-trade clause in his contract that allows him to veto a deal to six teams.
