David Price Battled Nervousness, Shaky Legs In Dodgers Debut

Just before the start of Spring Training, the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a blockbuster trade to acquire Mookie Betts and David Price from the Boston Red Sox.

While Betts was obviously the headliner of the deal, Price is a former five-time All-Star and Cy Young Award winner in his own right and should slot in nicely behind Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw in the Dodgers’ starting rotation.

The left-hander made his Dodgers debut on Monday, getting the start against the Cincinnati Reds. On the surface, the outing may have not looked that good as Price allowed three hits and two runs while striking out three and walking two on 39 pitches over just 1.
