Since making his MLB debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008, David Price wore No. 14 for his first eight seasons. Upon joining the Boston Red Sox in 2016, he switched to No. 24. That remained Price’s jersey number until changing to No. 10 last season.
A trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers required the left-hander to find a new number, as No. 10 is of course taken by Justin Turner. As he sat in center field at Dodger Stadium for an introductory press conference, Price explained he opted for No. 33 to pay homage to former teammate James Shields.
