David Price was right: This is no time to be playing Major League Baseball

David Price has it right.

I’ll admit, I cannot recall writing this sentence often if at all during Price’s tenure with the Red Sox. But then, these are strange days, and those little fires from his time in Boston couldn’t seem more distant or less important now.

Price made a decision over the weekend that carries far more weight and significance than any of those silly controversies about Fortnite, “holding all the cards,” and belligerent browbeating of a broadcaster. He decided to opt out of pitching for the Dodgers this season due to the COVID-19 virus and forgo his eight-figure salary.
