I agree Fenway, it seems he lost his passion. But the fact is that every industry is in a constant state of change and evolution. I started in the computer business when the original IBM PC was how you got your work done, now computing is in the cloud or in the palm of your hand. Baseball is no different. My son is amazed when he watches broadcasts of old games from the 80's (sorry, but we've seen 1986 Game 6 of Mets vs Red Sox more times than I can remember). He points out how different things are today - bunting style, how outfielders catch, but mostly how they swung the bat back then. I don't know why Price has such a problem with this, complaining about launch angle swings for example. But if he has in fact lost his passion and is unable to give 100% it's probably best he walk away.
