How did the whole Alex Rios thing and the White Sox shake out last year? The Sox claimed him and then the Blue Jays just said "Okay, fine...you can have him, but you have to pay him." There was no trade, right? So, if the Phils claim ARam, they're on the hook unless the Cubs say to nix the deal. Right?
Correct. If someone claims Aramis Ramirez, and the Cubs just want to dump his salary, they can give him away to the claiming team for nothing in return.

The Braves are no longer interested in Aramis.

From Mark Bowman:
While searching for a replacement for Jones, Atlanta explored the option of acquiring Aramis Ramirez from the Cubs. But the Braves' interest in the third baseman seemingly died when he was unwilling to rework some of the guarantees in his contract.

Ramirez has a $14.6 million player option that he will likely exercise for the 2011 season. In addition, if the Cubs trade him, the $16 million option he has for the 2012 season becomes guaranteed.
