I can see that. So back to what I said the day he was selected - Philly will either complete a trade for him or return him…
-
It would be a first if the Sox did that, but I don’t think the 26 man roster provision is enforceable if he were theoretically traded to Boston. If Boston - and only Boston - trades for Song, I would think that ends his Rule 5 status. That said, Boston is far more likely to trade him away to Philly than to trade for him this year…
-
… unless he’s already waived by then..
-
Maybe he meant the “Incredible List”?

How many incredibly wealthy people who don’t need more money decide to just stop? Not many people in the USA are wealthier than Mark Cuban, yet he’s still out there every week on Shark Tank looking for more invest opportunities and always basing his decision on the financial status of the candidates’ proposals. As do all the other wealthy sharks on that show, but Cuban in particular stands out because his net worth is greater than all the other sharks combined. He’s wealthy even among the wealthy!! And yet he’s still making his decisions based on dollars and cents! So I’m not 100% on board that comparative pauper John Henry isn’t concerned about the money. He didn’t get rich enough to purchase ownership stakes in multiple MLB franchises over the years by not worrying about money…
-
Of course most teams already passed on him once, likely because of his prolonged hiatus…
-
I’ve never heard of a team trading to re-acquire a player selected in the Rule 5 draft.
-
They might be. They also might not really care. I’m not sure if anyone in the front office has ever seen him pitch. And no one really knows where 3 years of not pitching would place him on their pitching prospect hierarchy. Ward looks to be the bigger loss. Jury is still out on Politi…
-
They can also trade him (and his Rule 5 status) to another team. But I’m not sure how appealing Song is right now with all his inactivity and his injury What other options are you thinking about? Teams don’t really have a lot of them with Rule 5 picks…
-
Either the Sox counteroffer or the Phillies just try to keep him. There’s not a lot of “next steps”…
-
Napoleon McCallum served 5 years, I think…
-
Staubach served 4 years as well…
-
If Pivetta is the Sox #3, it probably means Sale, Paxton, or both are out…
-
Pivetta’s goal today was probably something like 70-90 pitches. Somewhere in that range. You get the idea. What happens with those pitches might not matter at all…
-
No. I wanted the same for Brasier. But I never predicted it…
-
I will say that I truly believe the chance of Kaleb Ort lasting all season on the Red Sox 40 man roster strikes me as so close to 0 percent that we can call it 0 percent…
-
Oh no. Long before…
-
And the Mets aren’t trading anyone for a few months. The Mets will sign Britton (who also helps with their dearth of LHP) and let Robertson close. Robertson will be the closer. Draft accordingly in your fantasy leagues…
-
And I think he started blocking my texts
-
I’ve been saying that for about 5 or 6 DFAs now, but with more certainty…
-
I won’t say the Mets are disinterested in Jansen, but this notion that the Sox could run up the price and bleed the Mets dry is a little silly. Jansen isn’t the only other closer in the world. As the Mets have already noticed, the closer market isn’t completely dry. Not to mention they do have Dave Robertson, who has more experience and a better track record than Daniel Hudson, who is also taking over the closer role for an injured pitcher for another of MLB’s highest payrolls. The notion that the Mets “need a big name” is silly, too. They just need someone to get late-game outs…
-
What they need are WiFi-enabled electric razors…
-
And the Mets are at the Britton showcase. Not exactly a tough prediction. If he looks half decent, I think we know who wins that bidding war…
-
CD? Is he being compensated in 1996?
-
What else does he have? The ability to help opposing hitters up their stats?
