David Price is three seasons away from free agency and questions have popped up as to whether the Rays will be able to afford his services going forward.

"Yeah, that's a tough one," Price said of his future. "If we can find somewhere we are happy. That's it. I do enjoy being there. They all know that. I love everything about the Rays, from the training staff to the clubhouse guys, everything. It's a good locker room. It's cohesive. It's easy to be a part of. New guys come in, they fit right in, we make everybody feel welcome. That's what I feel like we do the best.

"But I don't want to sell myself short. I don't want to mess up for the future of other guys that could be in my position as well. That's something you have to look out for. We are a brotherhood as MLB players. We don't want to set the bar at some point, when somebody could get higher, and then it kind of sets the bar for the future. You don't want to do that, because that's not only affecting you, that affects everybody else. I want to be happy. I don't want to sell myself short. I guess 'appreciation' is the word I could use the most. I just want to feel appreciated."
