The Rays are expected to shop David Price this offseason and Price has reportedly come to terms with it. There are several teams that are expected to pursue Price but a lot of the interest will be determined by the Rays' asking price.
While everyone from the Rangers, Cardinals, Royals, and Dodgers are expected to be interested, the Braves appear to be in the best position to make a deal.
Not only do they have young pitching, like Alex Wood, J.R. Graham, and others, but they have solid young prospects like Christian Bethancourt who packaged together make for a great package.
The Braves' rotation is good but Price at the top and they immediately jump into the conversation as top NL team. With Medlen, Teheran, Minor, and Beachy, this rotation would be one of the best in baseball with Price leading the way.
Not to mention he would be leaping out of the toughest division in baseball into a rather pitching-friendly park.
Talks for Price will likely heat up in a month at the Winter Meetings, but don't rule out a team jumping in and trying to strike a quick deal.
