The dust is yet to settle on the frantic trade that saw the Detroit Tigers trade starting pitcher David Price to the Toronto Blue Jays for three pitching prospects, but Price is already kicking up more soil in the air, following a memorable debut for his new team that had fans singing his name, as he startled the MLB betting odds with an electrifying performance against the Twins on Monday.
The Price-y Tickets! And it wasn’t just on the field alone, the announcement of Price as the starter in Monday’s game saw the ticket sales shoot up, as many fans scrambled for a chance to watch their prized acquisition. According to the Toronto club, Monday’s game had sold out upward of 45,000 as of Sunday, a phenomenon that came on the back of Sunday’s game sellout of 45,736. “Obviously, everyone’s kind of rallied around the moves that Alex has made,” said Toronto’s VP of ticket sales and service, Jason Diplock. “In the last week it [interest] has certainly jumped and I think all the initial excitement has been funneled and channeled into this weekend’s series.
