After opting out of the 2020 season, David Price came into the new year looking to help contribute on the Dodgers pitching staff in any way he could. However, the addition of Trevor Bauer, as well as the growth of Dustin May, pushed Price into the bullpen with a possible swingman role.
Fast forward to the present and things haven’t gone according to plan. Bauer and May were lost for the season while Tony Gonsolin and Clayton Kershaw have spent months on the Injured List. With all of the unforeseen dents to the Dodgers rotation, Price was called upon to step up and fill in.
