There was hope that the Red Sox would be able to get one of their patented weapons back this weekend. However, just as the baseball gods giveth they shall taketh away. The original idea was to re-activate David Price from the IL and have him start the final game in San Diego on Sunday, but that’s gone out the window.
It’s been an up and down year for Price but for the most part, he was a reliable force within the Red Sox starting rotation. In a year that saw Chris Sale show mere glimpses of his normal self, it was Price that would carry the mantle of “Ace” for much of 2019.
