David Price was asked dozens of questions about his future with the Tampa Bay Rays during Monday's All-Star media availability.

Price, who said he has a comfort level with the organization and would prefer to stay, has come to terms with the likelihood of a trade at some point.

"Coming up in our organization, I've seen it happen before with guys like (James) Shields and (Matt) Garza and Delmon (Young) and (Jason) Bartlett,'' Price said. "We've had quite a few guys at this point in the season go through the trade rumors.

"Since 2012, (the Rays and I) both understood that for Tampa to continue the kind of success we've had over the past five or six years, this is the way they operate. I would love to stay there and for us to continue to be successful. But I don't know if that's a possibility.''

Price will be eligible for free agency in November 2015. The Rays can't afford another huge contract with Evan Longoria due a possible $144.6 million through 2023.
