The Red Sox could be getting a pitcher back from another team at deadline time.
Noah Song was officially designated for assignment by the Phillies on Saturday following the completion of his recent rehab assignment.
A slew of options open up as a result on what will happen with Song’s future. The Phillies can trade the Red Sox’ 2019 fourth-round pick ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. If they can’t find a deal for Song, he’ll get placed on waivers. If a team claims Song off waivers, they must keep him on their active MLB roster for the remainder of the season or he’ll go back to the Red Sox because he was a Rule 5 Draft pick this past offseason.
