Major League Baseball may soon be playing again, but two big names won't be. David Price has announced he will not be pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers this year due to concerns over COVID 19. He's the second high profile player to make such an announcement, as Ryan Zimmerman of the Washington Nationals has also said he won't play in this year's abbreviated season.
Price will be losing 11.9 million dollars for not playing. But he can take the hit. He made 31 million dollars last year. Zimmerman made a mere 2 million last year. Of course an obvious question is how might the layoff effect Price's pitching next year. He's 34.
