TORONTO — David Price was standing in front of the Toronto dugout, surrounded by cameras and reporters, when a voice piped up from the back.
"Um, excuse me," came the question. "What will it be like to face your protege tomorrow?"
Turning to see who was doing the talking, the Blue Jays left-hander deadpanned an answer, telling his questioner, "I'm terrified, man."
That was the first of several funny exchanges in an impromptu interview with Price conducted by Rays right-hander Chris Archer. Archer will pitch against Price, his former teammate and mentor, for the time first time on Saturday.
