Could David Price return to the Dodgers this season?
LA TimesThe Dodgers’ decision to send Ross Stripling to the Toronto Blue Jays and not acquire a starting pitcher before Monday’s trade deadline presumably doubles as a vote of confidence for the rotation options behind Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler. In a conference call with reporters Monday, Friedman was asked whether Price is considering pitching in 2020 after news surfaced that Miami Marlins second baseman Isan Díaz sought reinstatement to play after deciding he wouldn’t in July because of the coronavirus. Price’s decision to not participate this season was a blow to a Dodgers rotation that had lost three-fifths of its members during the offseason. Even if he has been throwing, Price hasn’t pitched in a major league game in exactly one year — Sept. 1, 2019 — before he finished the 2019 season on the injured list. Would the Dodgers even entertain having Price’s first game of 2020 be a playoff start?
