Before he has even thrown a meaningful inning, David Price has already won over the hearts of Dodgers fans. The former Cy Young winner made sure that minor league players in the farm system were taken care of, committing $1000 to each player not on the 40-man roster. This extra pay will help players make it through in addition to their $400 a week stipend from the team.
David Price made an appearance on Ross Stripling’s podcast The Big Swing this week and talked about the process of getting players paid. The Dodgers’ pitcher alongside co-host Cooper Surles talked to David about the generous act and how it came to be.
