ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Now that Tampa Bays David Price is slated to earn the biggest single-season salary in Rays history, the three-time All-Star hopes he remains part of the budget-minded franchises plans for 2014. The team announced Thursday that the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner agreed to a $14 million, one-year deal. However, the agreement doesnt eliminate the possibility of a trade. "I still have the mindset moving forward that I want to be with the Rays," said Price, who at the end of last season seemed resigned to the fact that hed probably be dealt during the off-season. The 28-year-old has been the subject of trade speculation after going 10-8 with a 3.33 ERA last year while earning $10,112,500. He is eligible for free agency after the 2015 season, and the Rays likely wont be in a position to pay the type of money Price could earn on the open market. If hes traded, Price believes it wouldnt be before Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka decides where to sign. Teams have until Jan. 24 to reach an agreement with Tanaka, a 25-year-old right-hander who was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year for the Japan Series champion Rakuten Golden Eagles. Price believes the Rays, whove made the playoffs four of the past six seasons, could have one of the best teams again in 2014. "I want to be part of it. I think were going to have a really good season," Price stressed, adding a trade after the start of spring training likely would leave a "bad taste" in the mouths of teammates whod also like to see him remain with the Rays. Prices 2013 season was interrupted by his first stint on the disabled list, caused by a strained triceps. He went 9-4 with a 2.53 ERA, 102 strikeouts and just 13 walks in 18 starts after coming off the DL on July 2, spurring the Rays drive for a playoff berth. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 amateur draft is 71-39 over parts of six seasons and is Tampa Bays career leader in ERA (3.19) and winning percentage (.645). Price became the franchises first 20-game winner in 2012, when he edged Detroits Justin Verlander in AL Cy Young balloting. He was a 19-game winner in 2010, his first full season in the majors. The left-handers salary for 2014 will account for a significant portion of a projected payroll of about $72 million. Carlos Pena earned $10.25 million in 2010, the previous season high for the Rays.

The Leafs look to pick up a point for the 19th time in their last 20 home games versus Calgary as they host the Flames on Tuesday night at Air Canada Centre. Toronto is 3-1-0 on its homestand and bounced back from a loss to New Jersey on Thursday with Saturdays 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Jake Gardiner and Richard Panik scored 45 seconds apart late in the first period and Jonathan Bernier made 44 saves. Peter Holland and Joffrey Lupul tallied early in the second and David Clarkson added a late marker for the Maple Leafs. You never want to lose back-to-back games, Bernier said. We got an early lead and then we got into penalty trouble in the second and they had a few good scoring chances on the power play. I thought we played pretty good in the last 10 minutes of the third period. Bernier was making his eighth start in a row and is 3-1-0 with a 1.75 goals against average and .944 save percentage in four career meetings with the Flames. Toronto does play on Wednesday as it visits Detroit before returning home for three in a row. The Maple Leafs are 16-1-2 in their last 19 at home versus the Flames and have won three of the past four meetings overall. Calgary will try to reverse that trend tonight as it begins a tough four-game road trip that also features in Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Chicago.dddddddddddd The Flames had a four-game winning streak halted on Saturday with a 3-2 setback to the San Jose Sharks. Mark Giordano and Johnny Gaudreau each scored and Karri Ramo stopped 27-of-30 shots in defeat, his first in seven outings. They pressured us and got us with two quick goals, Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. Once again we never stop. Thats one credit that our players deserve. Matt Stajan returned to Calgarys lineup and had an assist after missing 16 games in a row with a knee injury. The Flames are expected to get another veteran boost tonight with the probable return of forward Mason Raymond. Raymond has sat out 17 consecutive contests with a shoulder injury and has five goals with seven points in 10 games this season. He had 19 goals and 45 seasons in 82 games last season with Toronto. Mason most likely will be in the lineup, Hartley told his teams website after Mondays practice. Hes worked hard. He looks good. Obviously when he got hurt, he was our leading scorer. We still had a great record without our injured guys but now, the veterans are coming back and its good to see. Jonas Hiller will start this game for the Flames looking to beat the Leafs for the first time. He is 0-4-0 against them with a 4.84 GAA and .849 save percentage. ' ' '
