David Price Retires After 14 MLB Seasons

Former Cy Young Award winner announces retirement

Price was first overall pick in 2007 MLB Draft

David Price, a five-time All-Star and one-time Cy Young Award winner, announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Sunday after 14 seasons.

Price, 36, was the first overall pick in the 2007 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. He made his MLB debut with the Rays in 2008 and went on to pitch for the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Minnesota Twins.

Price was one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball during his prime. He won the Cy Young Award with the Rays in 2012, when he went 20-5 with a 2.54 ERA. He also finished in the top five in Cy Young Award voting four other times.

Price was also a key member of the Red Sox's 2018 World Series championship team. He started Game 2 of the World Series and pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings.

Price's retirement is a significant loss for the Dodgers, who signed him to a one-year contract in December. He was expected to be a key part of the Dodgers' rotation this season.
