PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Ervin Santana (2-1, 3.78 ERA) vs. Blue Jays LH David Price (9-4, 2.53)
David Price makes his much-anticipated debut with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday when they begin a big four-game series with the visiting Minnesota Twins.
(foxsports.com)-David Price felt mixed emotions after being traded from Tampa Bay to Detroit at last year's deadline, sending him from the only organization he'd known since being drafted with the No. 1 pick in 2007 and into a playoff race.
That experience has him feeling much more comfortable with his latest move.
Price has had success against the visiting Minnesota Twins no matter what uniform he's donned, and he'll face them tonight in hisToronto Blue Jays debut.

Price was one of the major acquisitions prior to Friday's trade deadline, coming over from Detroit for a trio of prospects to give the Blue Jays' rotation a big boost.The 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner held the
Twins to just two unearned runs in eight innings while with the Tigers last month and blanked Minnesota over 8 2/3 innings in his season debut April 6. Toronto has won four of five since acquiring shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in its other major deadline move, surviving a heated affair with Kansas City on Sunday to claim a 5-2 win.

In the four seasons before this one, the Twins never had won more than 70 games, finishing fourth or fifth in each of those four seasons. This year, under rookie manager Paul Molitor, they have been sitting in second place, chasing the first-place Royals much of the season, and while that pursuit has become secondary to holding onto a wild card spot, they have re-established themselves as a relevant contender going forward.
At the trade deadline, GM Terry Ryan tested out the market and did make a nice addition to the bullpen in Kevin Jepsen, acquired from Tampa Bay, but Ryan steadfastly refused to dip into his treasure trove of prospects, correctly reasoning that the future success of the franchise is percolating away down on the farm. As much as the Twins are a team to be respected and feared right now, they are only going to get better.
