TORONTO

If pitcher David Price stays in Toronto, his pooch Astro will be treated like royalty.

That’s one of the latest promises posted to the Any Price for David website, where more than 1,000 fans have made all kinds of pledges to try to encourage the free agent to sign with the Blue Jays.

The concern is Price will choose a team that offers more money and more years than the Jays.

Rob Godfrey, former senior vice-president of the Jays and a partner in Park9, a canine resort for dogs, says Astro will be offered free boarding for the entire length of Price’s contract if he returns to the Jays.

“We just want to do our part to show both David and Astro how much we want them here,” Godfrey said.

Park9 is located near Pearson International Airport and would provide Astro a cage-free paradise with spa, pool and indoor and outdoor playgrounds.

During road trips, Price could check in on Astro because Park9 is wired with webcams.

Park9 would also name one of its exclusive poolside cabanas after Price’s French bulldog.

“We believe David Price belongs in Toronto with the Blue Jays,” Godfrey said.

“As long as he wants to leave Astro here, we will make a home for him. A VIP, or in this case, a VID.”
