Perhaps the only good thing to come out of the entire Mookie Betts trade was the jettisoning of David Price. While I think we can all agree that the Red Sox didn’t get nearly enough in return for Betts (due to the Red Sox insistence that Price be included in the deal), I believe most fans are, if not happy, indifferent to seeing Price go. As the years pass, it’s safe to say that Mookie’s departure will be lamented for a long time, but Price will not be missed by many.
It was a strange, uneasy marriage from the beginning.
