Manny Ramirez was reportedly put on waivers on Wednesday and speculation is that the White Sox and Rays are interested in the outfielder.

But even though they’re interested, Ramirez has to clear all National League teams first. If he is, he then has to get past all the American League teams with worst records than the White Sox and Rays.

With Alex Rios’ struggles and Carlos Quentin’s inconsistency, the White Sox could use another bat. Ramirez is batting .306 this year with a .508 slugging percentage. He has also hit eight homers and has driven in 39 RBI in 189 at-bats before landing on the DL with a calf injury.

Odds makers currently list the White Sox as 28/1 long shots to win the 2010 World Series.

Several media reports have stated that Minnesota Vikings’ receiver Sidney Rice will undergo hip surgery and is now targeting a midseason return.

Head coach Brad Childress wouldn’t rule out the possibility that Rice could wind up on IR.

“We haven’t made any determination of whether he’ll be on IR or PUP,” Childress said.

At the very least, Rice will wind up on the PUP, or Physically Unable to Perform list, which will cost him the first six weeks of the regular season. If he’s placed on IR, his entire season would be over.

Rice was a huge part of the Vikings’ passing game last season, catching 83 passes for 1,312 yards and eight touchdowns. Percy Harvin will return as the team’s deep threat, while Bernard Berrian will remain a starter on the opposite side. The problem is that Harvin has been dealing with migraines and has been out himself recently.

Odds makers have made the Vikings 12/1 to win the 2011 Super Bowl.

Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren are officially done.

Finished. Finite. Kaput.

While the officially numbers weren’t made public, Elin could receive anywhere from $100 million in assets to as much as five times that figure. The couple will share custody of their two children, Sam Alexis and Charlie Axel.

The reason for the divorce was made public last Thanksgiving, when Woods crashed his SUV outside of his home in Florida. Speculation has it that Tiger and Elin were engaged in a fight because Woods had several affairs, which he admitted shortly after the November incident.

According to odds makers, Woods is 12/1 to win The Barclays at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey on August 26th. Phil Mickelson is also currently 12/1, while Rory McIlroy is 14/1.
