David Price Was Confident Dodgers Had Talent To Fill Void After Opting Out

Although Mookie Betts was touted as a potential difference-maker when the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a trade with the Boston Red Sox, the organization was equally as bullish over the contributions David Price would make.

Price had undergone left wrist surgery to correct an issue that plagued him during the 2019 season. The veteran left-hander was confident in his health and believed he was going to be capable of making upwards of 32 starts.

Price was dominant in a second Spring Training start, but wound up opting out of the 2020 season due to concerns over the coronavirus (COVID-19).
