I don't see him as the kind of guy who would go back to the minors. He's already been on the fence about retiring. Certainly, if the Red Sox said he'd be sent to the minors, he'd retire instead. I also think he'd want to go out with some dignity and not try to come back for another season after this one.
Unless, of course, he came back after this season as a coach/bench player. Sort of a breaking-in period transitioning a coaching career.
