Red Sox Sign David Price
It didn't take long for Red Sox General Manager Dave Dombrowski to make a splash in the free agent pool this offseason. The Red Sox agreed with lefthander David Price on a seven-year, $217 million contract that is the biggest contract signed by a Red Sox pitcher in their history. To break it down for you, Price will make $59 every minute and $1 every second for the next seven years. This was a good add for the Red Sox as they need pitching, after last year's unfortunate season showed that. Red Sox fans say they can already taste the playoffs after this landmark deal, will Price be worth the price?

3. The purpose for writing this was to excite other Red Sox fans about the welcoming of David Price.
I find it really neat that you did out the math here to figure out exactly what he will be making per minute of playing baseball - even when he is not pitching! It is pretty incredible that we pay people this amount of money to play a game, but then again it is something that brings us together as a nation so maybe it is worth it! Great work getting people excited about this new pitcher too - I am excited to see what he can do.
