What? I'm assuming that you know David Price very well in order to make this really thoughtful statement. Unlike Kyrie Irving, Price gives his all, pitches well and led the Sox to a championship (and probably should have been Series MVP). Through no fault of his own, he gets blindsided and brought back into some dustup that he had with Dennis Eckersley from last year and he's the dink? That makes sense.
And really who cares if Price is a dink? Aren't we all past the age where we think that all ballplayers are "good, humble milk drinkers"? Does it matter if David Price is indeed a dink? I don't have to hang out with him. I only have to watch him throw a baseball 100 times every five days. Unless it's negatively affecting the team (a la the Irving example I brought up), how does this matter? Like at all. I assume you work. Do you like everyone you work with? Probably not. But guess what, you go in, do your job, stay away from Person A (B, C, D) and then you go home.
No matter what people say, baseball teams aren't really families. They aren't even one big group of friends. They're 25-40 guys, plus coaches, front office people, media, etc. brought together from different parts of the world with a goal of winning a game. Sometimes these people don't get along publicly. It happens. But that doesn't make one person a bigger dink than the other. The idea that one person doesn't like another person and holds a grudge can't be that mind-blowing, can it? It happens.
