There was an unfortunate narrative surrounding David Price on Friday.
Yankees Not Interested In High-Priced Free Agents
With the Blue Jays facing elimination in the ALCS, the 30-year-old stepped to the mound to rewrite his own history. Price was winless his seven previous postseason starts, including two in which his team faced elimination.
Nine innings and a 4-3 loss later, the narrative remains.

Admittedly, it was a lack of offense, not Price that cost the Blue Jays a victory on Friday. The right-hander pitched 6.2 innings, allowing just three runs with eight strikeouts.
But narratives aren’t interested in facts, and the Yankees shouldn’t be interested in a pitcher incapable of delivering a masterful performance in the postseason.
At least not one with a $200 million price tag.
I like David Price and everything.. But for what the Yankees and Dodgers are going to offer him, I wouldn't touch it.

I do not want David Price on the #Yankees next season. We need young winners, not old guys who can't play in October, we have those

Still a formidable talent, the free agent market will welcome Price with open arms. But teams must be wary of the package Price brings.
