When the Los Angeles Dodgers held an introductory press conference after their blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox, David Price expressed equal excitement over his health and chance to also contribute at the plate by arriving in the National League.
“You’re 2-for-your-last 4, though,” Mookie Betts interjected as Price was detailing the opportunities he would have to bat. Price retorted, “2-for-my-last-3.”
Price wound up opting out of the 2020 season because of concerns with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and now is likely getting his final chance to bat before a universal designated hitter is implemented as part of a new collective bargaining agreement.
