Like Pulp Fiction’s Jules Winnfield, the hot takes following Boston’s signing of David Price struck down with great vengeance and furious anger. We’d been betrayed by Rogers yet again, with Mark Shapiro continuing to cobble together his small-market budget team. Yes, the team that’s handed out over $60 million to Marco Estrada and J.A. Happ before the majority of MLB teams make their first signing. But that’s a shouting match for another day.
Part of me expected Eddie and the Rogers crowd to give Price the Alex Anthopoulos treatment on the way out of town.
