Alex Anthopoulos has reached the point where, when he’s asked about whether the Blue Jays can sign David Price going forward, he just laughs.
The Jays’ GM finds it somewhat amusing that, in the midst of a pennant race, with the city of Toronto, and much of Canada, going crazy for the Jays, everyone seems fixated on whether the team can sign Price to a long-term deal when the season is over.
“We normally talk about this stuff when we’re out of it and you’re starting to talk about next year,” said Anthopoulos on Thursday. “There’s no reason in my mind to talk about next year when we’re experiencing something that’s exciting and that hasn’t been experienced in over 20 years across Canada.
