While facing his old Tampa Bay teammates on Tuesday, Tigers starter David Price induced a comeback groundball from Evan Longoria and raced to the baseline for the tag play. Price, pitching amid trade rumors for the second straight season, probably could use a hug right now — as we all could, really. So when he saw his teammate of parts of seven seasons jogging his way, he opened his arms wide for an embrace.
But Longoria flatly rejected the bromantic gesture, backpedaling toward home plate and forcing Price to toss to first base for the out.
