Dodgers pitcher J.P. Howell played with Detroit Tigers pitcher David Price from 2008 to 2012 in Tampa Bay. Their first year as teammates, they played in a World Series together.
Howell still keeps in touch with Price. He’d love for history to repeat itself.
“(Price) said he’s heard about 300 different scenarios,” Howell said Wednesday afternoon. “I’m, like, hoping it was only one.
“Of course we’d love to have him, but it’s tough to give up what we have here as well.”
By the time the Dodgers beat the Oakland A’s 10-7, an unexpected possibility was in play: Howell could get his reunion with Price and not lose a single teammate.
