Price is a free agent and eligible to sign wherever he chooses, but it sounds like he's content to stay at home and recharge for a season. He isn't officially using the word retirement, but it's possible that this could be a precursor to that. The 37-year-old southpaw made 40 appearances out of the Dodgers bullpen in 2022 -- posting a terrific 2.45 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 37/9 K/BB ratio across 40 1/3 innings. 

Price gets caught up in the Dodgers' postseason roster crunch after being limited to just 40 relief appearances during the regular season and missed nearly a month in the second half due to left wrist inflammation.

Working with a three-run lead, Price walked one, but he retired the other three batters he faced as the Dodgers' seventh pitcher of the game. He's competing for a spot on the team's postseason roster at this point.

There have been speculative reports that Price plans on retiring at the conclusion of the year, but those haven't been confirmed by the veteran southpaw himself. The 37-year-old lefty will rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen mix on Tuesday evening in San Diego following a nearly one-month absence due to left wrist inflammation. He's compiled a strong 2.58 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 37/8 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings (38 appearances) this season for Los Angeles.
