FORT MYERS — With David Price in the passenger seat and Christian Vazquez sitting in the back, a golf cart zoomed past two Red Sox buses outside the clubhouse yesterday morning. The buses were loading up for a Grapefruit League game across town against the Minnesota Twins. The cart was heading along a sidewalk to the minor league complex.
Behind the backstop on Field 5, a large group of uniformed prospects, a half-dozen reporters, and 18 fans waited for Price to face minor league hitters. One of the fans was Facetiming from the front row of the bleachers.
