The first place team in the AL East just lost their best starting pitcher.

... and this would force Cashman's hand because why?:

"Armed with owner John Henry’s deep pockets and permission to spend, team president Dave Dombrowski alerted the Yankees and the AL East that, after two straight last-place finishes, the Red Sox are hell-bent on rising to the top of the division David Price helped the Blue Jays win last season.

The Red Sox and Price, the stud lefty free agent, agreed Tuesday on a seven-year deal for $217 million, the richest contract in history for a pitcher.

...

'No reaction,' general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday evening when asked how Price going to the Red Sox affects the Yankees."

Well, there ya go.
