The Pirates made a run at left-handed ace David Price with an offer of a prospect package before the Tigers acquired him from Tampa Bay in last year's trade deadline. It was a "very strong try," a source told CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman.
Price has gone 5-4 with a 3.03 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP and 93:18 K:BB ratio over 13 starts (92 innings) since the trade.
