Breaking down Blue Jays' trade for David Price

Lefty David Price was 22 the first time we saw him.

He was the same age as Daniel Norris is this year.

Then-Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon brought in Price in Game 1 of the 2008 American League Championship Series at Tropicana Field. At the time, the No. 1 overall selection in North America from the Vanderbilt Commodores in the 2007 draft had only 14 big-league innings and 141 in the minors on his left arm as a pro.

With the Rays trailing 2-0, Price was asked to get Boston Red Sox’s Jacoby Ellsbury with two out in the top of the ninth.
