Pedroia going to get paid:

10:07pm: The Red Sox made a formal extension offer to Pedroia over the All-Star break, tweets Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com. He quotes the source as saying that the "ball is in their court," apparently referring to Pedroia and his advisers. Edes notes that the offer could exceed $100MM, though he bases that figure on the ballpark figures reported earlier by Passan.
Save the waiver claims for organization filler
In this interview he fully admitted that he cares about fielding a competitive AAA team. He acknowledged that some of his waiver claims were done purely to improve the Bisons.
Looks like this might all be BS:
@SN_Baseball: #TradeDeadlineTwitter RT @JJStankevitz: Ventura says Alex Rios was pulled for not hustling. #HugWatch
Night
@colt____45: according to twitter, rios has been traded to the pirates, rangers, phillies, yankees, and red sox, as well as england for the royal baby.
He's definitely trending. LOL
@SDIJamesHolland: Maybe Alex Rios' teammates hugged him because they felt bad that he was pulled for not hustling an we're overreacting.
@JimThome25: According to twitter half the league just traded for Alex Rios
@bwilson314: Source: Alex Rios to London for the royal baby. (This is for my dad lurking on Twitter for trades right now).
