This whole situation is pretty nuts. It's really hard to justify a 40-man spot to a guy that hasn't pitched in 3 years, let alone a 25 or 26 or whatever it is now spot.
As a Naval Academy grad and a Red Sox fan I was bummed to see him picked up by the Phillies but they were put in a tough position given the weird situation. Another scenario is the Phillies could trade him to another team that could potentially hold him on their active roster. That being said I hope I can watch him pitching for Greenville or Portland this year. Beat Army (and the Yankees)

Thanks, Matt.
With you all the way on Song. For his sake, I hope he gets returned.
After a 3-year gap, a full season in a minor league rotation would be more beneficial to his development than being a rarely used 8th reliever
💯 Kory!
