Dodgers: Could David Price supplant Kenley Jansen as closer? David Price was last featured in a relief role in 2008 when he was called up by the Tampa Bay Rays while the team was making its first ever run to the World Series. That was back when the left-hander was hitting triple digits with his fastball. Gone are those days, however, in Year 13. Price has taken on a new role with his new team. Ever since he was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers, his career has been in limbo. Price sat out the 2020 season due to concerns regarding the pandemic. Heading into 2021, it was unclear if he’d even start after the team signed Trevor Bauer and were likely more eager to give outings to youngsters Julio Urias and Dustin May. Price willingly took on a relief role after telling the front office he’d do whatever it took to help the team’s other pitchers get quality innings. And after his recent run in the back end of the bullpen, is it possible the left-hander will take over as the closer at some point this year? (from Funsided)
