The Case Of Darryl Howard

Is it smart for the Red Sox to try to sign David Price this offseason? There is lots of spiculation on whether the Red Sox will shoot for the all star pitcher but there is no answer currently.

In the article Flood repeatedly falls back on the point that he is not in control of his wage because he has nowhere else to work. Flood states while explaining how he cannot argue for his pay, “And if you don't like it, you can quit baseball and find some other way of making a living”(Flood 127). What flood is failing to see that if he really wants to be paid more money he should have pursued a different profession. Flood’s profession is literally a game that children play.
