David Price appeared to call out some of his teammates on Monday after quote-tweeting a post that highlighted the racial divide between the players electing to attend the team's scheduled White House visit on Thursday and those who plan to skip the event.
The Athletic writer Steve Buckley noted the racial divide between those players choosing to attend the White House visit and those who won't be there. Buckley referred to the players planning to attend the ceremony as "the white Sox."

Alex Cora has confirmed newspaper report he will not make the trip to meet the president. So basically it's the white Sox who'll be going.
On Monday, Price retweeted the post, saying that he felt like "more than 38k should see this tweet" — a reference to Buckley's follower count.
Manager Alex Cora, who is Puerto Rican, said he would be skipping the team's White House visit, joining many of his players, including Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, Hector Velázquez, and Christian Vazquez.
Meanwhile, according to The Boston Globe, players such as Rick Porcello, J.D. Martinez, Chris Sale, and Brock Holt were all set to be in attendance, while a few players remained undecided.
Some said the team caused the racial divide by accepting the invitation in the first place.
