David Price Meets With Red Sox Brass After Confronting Eckersley

Red Sox manager John Farrell, President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski and P David Price "met before Friday night’s game over an incident in which Price verbally confronted NESN analyst Dennis Eckersley on the team flight from Boston to Toronto after Thursday night’s game." It was the "second such incident between Price and a media member." Price had "just pitched well in a 6-3 win over the Twins," but "apparently something didn't sit well with him." Eckersley "seemed glowing in his analysis of Price’s outing" (BOSTON GLOBE, 7/1). No Red Sox player is "going to win a hissing contest with Eckersley," a Baseball HOFer and the "most refreshing color commentator" in the Boston market (BOSTON GLOBE, 7/2).
