As well as Price has thrown the ball lately, some have pointed to his relative mediocrity in the playoffs as a downside.
In the three-game sweep, Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello and Sanchez combined for a 1.57 ERA with 27 strikeouts and two walks in 23 innings.
The 28-year-old Price said he knew there was a good chance Tampa Bay would deal him before the trade deadline.
Rick Porcello allowed two runs over eight innings while posting the win to tie teammate Max Scherzer for the American League lead in victories.
Porcello looks to tie for the major league lead in wins Saturday night as the first-place Tigers look to take the first two of this three-game set with the visiting Colorado Rockies.
A day after the AL Central-leading Tigers added star left-hander David Price to their rotation, Verlander showed signs that he might be rounding into form.
How much Ezequiel Carrera will play, as he shares center field with Rajai Davis, is still up in the air, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.
"I would be willing to bet my salary on the fact that Astro will be in here at some point," reliever Joba Chamberlain said.
Price was asked about what he was going to do leading up the the deadline after his name had been discussed for weeks about possibly being moved.
After one of the craziest MLB trade deadlines ever, let's take a look at who made the best moves of the day.
Way to go Dave, not only did you pull of the move of the year, in my opinion, but you got to rub it into Beane's face.
The Tampa Bay Rays insist they haven't given up on their season by trading David Price.
"I get that the guy we're getting is very talented as well," Scherzer said, "but right now it stinks."
"Everybody had a great team ... and they got better," Verlander said, "so if you want that last push, you've got to do something drastic."
In one way, the deadline deal that made David Price a Detroit Tiger surprised general manager Dave Dombrowski as much as anybody else.
The game quickly became a secondary concern in the Motor City when the Tigers added another Cy Young Award winner to their star-studded rotation, acquiring Tampa Bay's David Price in a blockbuster three-team deal.
It appears that some in the Florida area are not feeling as generous in their support of the recent Tigers deal for David Price.
The formidable starting rotation of the Detroit Tigers just got better.
"The majority of people have bad days," Soria said. "The problem is that everyone realizes when I do badly at my job because it's on TV."
Miller has a 2.34 ERA and 0.898 WHIP through 50 appearances this season.
A not-guilty plea was entered for 28-year-old Evan Reed, who turned himself in Thursday morning.
Is this the best lining of a suit you have seen?
Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings, and the Detroit Tigers scored six runs in the first inning en route to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.
Reed's attorney says the sex between the alleged victim and his client was consensual.
