Daily News | Phillies grab Navy man Song from Red Sox in Rule 5 draft
SAN DIEGO — After a busy 48 hours at baseball’s winter meetings in San Diego, in which the Phillies signed deals with three free-agents, they kept their momentum going in the Rule 5 draft on Wednesday, selecting right-hander Noah Song from the Red Sox in the major league phase, and seven players in the minor league phase.
Because of Song’s ongoing military service, he has been placed on the military list. Until he is activated off that list, he will not be added to the Phillies’ 40-man roster. Once he is activated, he’ll be subject to Rule 5 stipulations, meaning that the Phillies will have to carry him on the big league roster for an entire year.
Song, who was picked by the Red Sox in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, saw his draft stock drop because of concerns about his Navy involvement. Before completing flight school, he pitched for the Red Sox’s low-A affiliate, the Lowell Spinners, in 2019. He compiled a 1.06 ERA with 19 strikeouts over seven starts and 17 innings with Lowell.
