If the Sox finish 3 games out of the wildcard, it will make Cora look bad. For not fighting for every win.
Which is why Cora will not allow it to happen

" ... following players will be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft in the December of the stated year unless they are added to the 40-man roster on or before November 20 of that year. Players eligible for minor league free agency that same year are not listed." www.soxprospects.com/rule5.htm

So as no team claimed him off waivers there's the temptation not to place him on the 40 man roster other than the possibility Dombrowski would pick him Rule 5 again. I guess the Sox have until December 7th to decide whether they need to place him on the 40 man roster? Yes? No? Maybe? Jeez Louise

Not really. If he gets back to Boston at this point, it means every MLB team will have passed up on the opportunity to claim him and put him on their roster for 90 days, including as much of 2023 as possible before extending into next year, instead of all of the 2024 season. In other words, they would have passed up clearly more favorable roster terms now before adding him under worse terms in December. Wouldn't make sense. Well, the hypothetical posed was whether Boston could trade for Song prior to the Phillies DFAing him, in which case the other 28 teams wouldn’t have a shot at claiming him and rostering him for the final two months of the 2023 season and April 2024. Song began playing catch with his roommate in January and was in spring training a month later. He could be more attractive as a rule 5 selection this coming winter, after a full year of baseball related activities and a full offseason to prepare. He probably was not on most teams’ boards this past winter. There are better ways for the organization to spend a 40 man roster spot, in all likelihood. The rule was always that, if a player is selected a second time in another Rule 5 draft, said player does not have to spend time in MLB, only stays on 40-man roster. If that is still the case, losing Song this December will be easy.

numerous off days in July.
Option a reliever, go with a 12-man staff for a bit. And then option Casas for 10 days. if his slump continues

I'd say they can survive with 12 pitchers for a week or longer. Activate Reyes, option a reliever

media voices believe Arroyo could be cut to make way for Reyes ... with all the off days in July, they sure don't need 13 pitchers right now.

A. Management is not going to gut this team while they're in a playoff race. You can't operate under the assumption they'll go 12-18 In August, like '22.
B. Paxton, Jansen are key pieces for '23 and can't be replaced internally. They're staying.
C. Turner, Duvall can be replaced internally. Kiké, Arroyo have surpassed their usefulness

I agree that those three are exciting, but if Jordan is there all summer then I don't know that it's a positive. When Blaze is promoted to Portland, how do you allocate playing time between Kavadas, Binellas, Yorke, and Miedroth? To say nothing of Tyler McDonough who was a 3rd round pick in 2021 and may have some future value as a super-sub. Is Yorke ready for AAA? If so, how do you allocate playing time to Valdez, Dalbec, Reyes, Koss and Ryan Fitzgerald? All of whom have some current or potential major league value? Is there any trade market for AAAA players, like Dalbec and Valdez, who seem to be clogging up the 40-man roster? Maybe we can get Dombrowski to take them to Philadelphia. Don't trade away our Minor league talent

Story could take the easier option of coming back to play 2B.
Of course, that keeps Chang & Reyes at SS. Arroyo & Kiké at 2B is somehow preferred, eh?
