According to two sources close to the Rays, the biggest reason for trading Kazmir was his negative influence on David Price. At the time, Price was struggling through a rookie campaign in which he would finish 10-7 with a 4.42 ERA.
According to our sources, it was accepted among those close to the Rays that prior to the 2009 season, Kazmir liked to partake in illegal recreational activities with his good friend Edwin Jackson. It is unclear if this played a factor in Jackson being traded prior to the 2009 season. We will let you draw your own conclusions on that one.

I don't know if this story is bs or not but it's pretty funny that when Kazmir was on the team Price went 10-7 with a 4.42 ERA and this year he's a cy young candidate 15-5 with a 2.97 ERA. So maybe that's why Scott Kazmir isn't any good anymore because he's doing a bunch of drugs. It would make logical sense because he has good stuff, and has always had potential, but just could never put it together. Maybe he should go visit Josh Hamilton.
