Hours after Price tweeted that he loved Boston already, the official Twitter account for the Red Sox presented the number that the pitcher will use with the team and that Garin Cecchini was DFA to make room for him on the 40-man roster.
Soon enough, members of the Boston sports media began to talk about his stats against the AL East, his record in postseason and you know, the kind of things that we always speculate about when the Red Sox sign a big free agent. The media is well-known for being harsh on every Boston sports team and how they can tackle a free agent when his name is brought up on rumors related to the Red Sox (see case of speculations surrounding Zack Greinke), so the introductory press conference for Price was something to definitely take a look at.
