What a Guy!

World Series champion David Price. World class human David Price. If you're a baseball fan, you have an opinion about this man one way or another. Yankee fans love to chirp him, Boston media loves to hate on him, and then there's the love-hate relationship with Red Sox fans. You would've figured that the dominating performance throughout the 2018 postseason would've done something to repair that, but alas. You know where I stand on Price. He's my guy. Has he deserved some of the criticism that he's gotten from the media? Sure. Did fans have a right to be disappointed at times? Absolutely. But there's one thing that has always been a constant with Price throughout his career and that's that any of his teammates throughout the years would take a bullet for him. From Vanderbilt to Tampa Bay to Detroit to Toronto to Boston, and I'm sure that'll be no different in LA. This is another example of why. On Thursday, minor leaguers throughout baseball were handed some absolutely devastating news that they'd be cut due to the global pandemic. It's an awful situation, and many of these guys will see their dream of becoming a big leaguer come to an end because of it. Not all, but some. And that's brutal. To do his part in helping aid the minor leaguers in the Dodgers' system, Price is giving each player not on the 40-man roster a thousand dollars of his own money for the month of June. And keep in mind, he has not played a single regular season game for this organization, and he is using his hard earned money to support an organization that has barely even gotten to know him. Some people have come out and said that its easy to be nice when you're a millionaire, but how often are you paying you're coworkers just because they are starting to cut people? It is a very classy move and a nice thing to see happen during all of this craziness.
