Baseball autographed by David Taylor Price. On 12/2/2015 Boston Red Sox nabbed one of free agency's two best starting pitchers, they agreed to a seven-year, $217 million deal with left-hander David Price.

David Price was selected first overall in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays and made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut in September 2008. He also played a year for the Detroit Tigers and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Price pitched out of the bullpen during the Rays run through the 2008 playoffs. Just weeks after his first appearance in the big leagues, he earned a memorable save in Game 7 of the ALCS, helping his club reach their first World Series. Price became a full-time starting pitcher in 2009. In his second full season, he was named the American League starter for the 2010 All-Star Game and finished second in the voting for the 2010 Cy Young Award. He won his first Cy Young Award in 2012 after a tight race.
