David Price received a talking to after an on-plane confrontation with Dennis Eckersley:
John Farrell, Dave Dombrowski, and 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.
Farrell confirmed the meeting but wouldn’t elaborate, indicating “it’s being handled internally.” The Red Sox manager also confirmed that Price would make his next start, but there was no indication what possible disciplinary action, if any, took place.
Price was one of many who indicated he didn’t want to speak on the matter.
There is speculation the problem was about Price’s failing to cover first on a ground ball. Eckersley’s pointed out the error, but also noted that he had done the same thing as a pitcher. It was polite criticism.
