David Price calls out MLB over approach to players' safety

During a day of chaos in MLB, David Price is weighing in.

The Dodgers' pitcher who remains perhaps the most notable player choosing to opt-out of the 2020 season took to Twitter Monday after both the Orioles game in Miami and the Yankees tilt in Philadelphia were postponed after 11 of the 33 players traveling with the Marlins tested positive for COVID-19.

Now we REALLY get to see if MLB is going to put players health first. Remember when Manfred said players health was PARAMOUNT?! Part of the reason I’m at home right now is because players health wasn’t being put first. I can see that hasn’t changed.

It's not the first time since his decision to not play this season Price has offered skepticism regarding MLB's plan to return, reacting back on July 6 when both the Astros and Nationals were forced to cancel their respective workouts due to testing issues.
