Dodgers, Giants, Blue Jays, Yankees, Astros Show Initial Interest In David Price

By Jeff Todd | July 29, 2015 at 10:13pm CDT

David Price has generated significant early interest since the Tigers declared themselves open to offers earlier today. Several teams have already emerged as early leaders to get the ace lefty.

Per Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter), the Dodgers, Giants, Blue Jays, and Yankees are all in contact with Detroit and make up the “four main teams” in the mix. Jon Morosi of FOX Sports, who was first to note that the Blue Jays had made contact on Price, adds the Astros as a team that is in discussions (Twitter link).

Especially with Johnny Cueto and Cole Hamels now off the market, Price is undoubtedly the best pitching trade piece remaining. He was dealt at the last minute in 2014 for an interesting package in a three-team deal, and now seems destined again to be one of the most-watched names in the final two days leading up to the deadline.

      You realize we’d have David Price for 2 months right? About 10 starts? 10 starts for 6 years of a top 30 prospect in baseball.

        albert almora was 16th, jackie bradley was 21st, jameson tallian was 11th, dylan bundy 17th, jonathon singleton 22nd, kyle zimmer 28th and the recently deceased oscar tavares was 2nd. thats 2013 b.a midseason prospect list. i think all of them would be instatraded for price at the moment.

        Prospects are correctly named. How many Top 50 prospects become All Stars? or even above average players long term?

    Yankees have to trade for Price no matter what without giving up Severino or Judge, the rest can go. Pineda and Tanaka haven’t pitched likes ACEs this year and they need one.

    Mike Leake is 4-1 in last 5 starts with a 1.25 ERA. Someone take him. I know no one wants him but he’s a very solid #3 SP, plus he can hit and run.

    I think the recently acquired Alex Wood being the centerpiece would be good enough for the Dodgers. I don’t believe the Dodgers had any interest in keeping him in LA.

      Yes, keeping great young pitchers, with years of team control, is always a hassle. Trading them for rentals is a much better idea.

        Wood fits everything any team would want. He’s a legit #2 starter with years of team control. You would need to be braindead to trade a good #2 starter with 4 years of cheap team control for 2 months of a #1 starter. It makes no sense.

          So you want the Giants to get Price, and then maybe miss the playoffs. If you want Price pitching for you, you out bid the others.

            For Wood? No they couldn’t. Getting Wood for Price and Soria would be a dream come true for Detroit. You’d have him as a very solid #2-3 starter in a shaky rotation for the next 4 years.

      It was interesting that trade seemed to stall mid-afternoon with the news that Price was available. Could be the trade was expanded to include Wood for the purpose of a flip.

    Tigers can sweeten any deal by ADDING Rajai Davis or Alex Avila or Soria depending on need.

    They can even package Price and Cespedes together to get a better player.

    Wood alone would not work. They can and will get more.

    …I’m pretty sure that any trade involving Price to the Yankees would have to include one of Judge or Severino. I don’t think the Tigers would consider a deal without one of the two.

    On another note, it’s rather amusing to think that David Price would be #3 on the Dodgers’ rotation.

    Dodgers need to trade Wood+ for Price. I don’t think Wood over Bolsinger is an upgrade. San Francisco is about to overtake them in the standings if they lose tonight too so they have to do something.
