Don’t believe it, Price knows that he’s making roughly $10,000 every pitch he throws.

Try adding 2 more 0’s behind that

I really don’t think he makes $1,000,000 for every pitch.

“I don’t know what my paycheck looks like,” says Price – that must be nice. I have the same problem, just that mine is spent on bills before I can see the darn thing. Nice to know David and I have the same problem … sort of.

Any owner that gives that kind of guaranteed money for that many years deserves to be committed to an institution. Price is right as he has NO pressure as he gets paid no matter what! And if history has taught us anything pitchers are continually blowing out their arms. I have no sympathy for the owner. The fans pay his exorbitant salary anyway. The average fan doesn’t produce in the workplace he’s shown the door. The players should anoint Marvin Miller for Sainthood

I don’t believe a word Price says. How can a person not know how much their pay is? The way he describes it, the cheque goes to his agent. Than what happens? Price doesn’t get it put in his bank account? Like pulleease! You must be living very frugal if you don’t need your pay cheque either.. One wonders how he bought all the scooters and bath robes in Toronto if he never saw how much he got paid. Maybe he just got lucky and his debit card never got declined.

Want to talk about the stars aligning? The Giants were a 12th hour decision away from moving to Tampa in 1992, then Tampa gifts them 3 titles and their leader in Posey a decade later. Maybe the worst draft decision ever. No way do the Giants get their titles if they get literally anyone other than Posey and the Rays probably get a lot more postseason appearances, not to mention how they haven’t had a regular catcher ever.

I recall the late Lyman Bostock giving to charity his 1st 2 paychecks after having terrible start of the season when signing as a FA with the old LA Angels. You don’t see today’s ball players making gestures like that however, they want ever nickel and right when it’s due.
Tampa could have had at least a catcher playing 50% of it’s games in Hannigan a cpl years back, he’s still a solid defender and occasional offensive player. That team hasn’t had anyone nearly as good as Hannigan in years, yet they got rid of him as soon as acquired him, probably because were too cheap to pay his 3.5-4m salary for 3-4y.

I’d be inclined to give Price a pass for the first small segment of his deal. He was the best pitcher available, the Red Sox can certainly afford to pay him, and he’s going to be just fine in the intermediate term. Long term, it’s going to be too much money, but that’s the nature of the beast. Very few long term contracts for pitchers work out as well as Mike Mussina”s did. But given Price’s excellence over his career, it’s a little crazy to be thinking he’s going to be a disaster, absent some injury.

Price puede que suene chocante pero el sigue siendo David Price (con dinero) y además el es muy inteligente para dejarse llevar por su chequera. Hay que recordar que el tiene una opción para salirse del contrato…
