News broke today from multiple sources that the Toronto Blue Jays have acquired David Price from the Detroit Tigers for three left handed pitchers, one of whom is highly touted prospect Daniel Norris. Since the Blue Jays are in the American League East, we should consider how will this affect the Red Sox.
In the near term, it doesn’t have much of an effect because as of today the Red Sox are going nowhere this season. They have lost 12 of 14 and look to be limping to the finish line, 14 games out of first place and trending downward.
