Great points - TR. The extreme way Tampa has used Price this year sets up an overpay for whomever trades for him. IMO, Tampa has not yet counted itself out of the race for the AL Eastern Division Title, due to the weakness of the other teams and Tampa's good play before the ASB. Tampa is going to squeeze every possible inning out of Price trying to get back into contention, and then will only trade him for top dollar if their FO throws in the towel for winning the AL East. The smartest guy in the room, Billy Beane, talked with Tampa for a few days and moved on. If the M's don't have Plans B & C while dealing with Tampa, they are fools. Somebody is going to overpay for Price, or the Rays won't move him. Watch out, Jack, you're dealing with sharks.
