David Price Blasts Dennis Eckersley as Feud Reignites

David Price and Dennis Eckersley really don’t like each other. Their long-standing feud has been going on for several years now and it was blown open again on Wednesday.

In a Boston Globe article on Tuesday, Eckersley claimed he didn’t plan to ever speak to Price again. That set Price off.

Here’s what Eckersley said about their feud that began in 2017:

After the incident, Price did not apologize, and Eckersley declined the team’s efforts to set up a meeting between the two."

On Wednesday Price tweeted the following in response:

Here’s the story on what Eckersley said about Marcus Stroman and his on-field antics.

So the Red Sox can’t seem to squash the beef between one of their highest-paid players and the color analyst for their broadcasts. That seems like a bad problem to have.
