David Price

Although Price's 2019 numbers look ugly, remember that he had a low-3.00 ERA before giving up 20 runs over a four-start stretch after he was bothered by a cyst in his wrist. He had the highest strikeout rate of his career and his lowest FIP and xFIP since 2016. Now in the National League with the Dodgers, Price should have plenty left to give fantasy owners. Just downgrade your innings projections, as the Dodgers will likely look to keep Price's workload in check in preparation for the postseason.

David Price officially joins Dodgers

David Price will formally be traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers as a piece in the Mookie Betts 'megadeal.'

Fantasy Impact

Price's candidacy in this trade was never seriously in doubt, but the deal was finally agreed upon Sunday night. The Red Sox will pay half of the $96 million remaining on Price's salary, with the remaining amount covered by the Dodgers. Price finished 2019 with a 4.28 ERA and 128 strikeouts in 22 starts. The Dodgers are notoriously hard to predict with their use of starting pitchers, and Price's defined role is yet to be determined.
