New Red Sox president Dave Dombrowski, is “all in’’ to acquire free agent pitcher David Price, according to Sports Illustrated writer Tom Verducci.

“I believe David Price is going to Boston,’’ Verducci said Monday on MLB Network, per CSNNE. “Dave Dombrowski is all in.’’

The 30-year-old starting pitcher finished second in AL Cy Young Award voting in 2015, after going 18-5 with a 2.45 ERA for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Dombrowski, who called pitching the team’s “primary focus’’ this offseason, made his first big move earlier this month, trading four prospects to the San Diego Padres for four-time All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel.

The Red Sox president also went on MLB Network Radio on Monday, calling the entire free agent pitching field, “particularly interesting, because there are quite a few guys out there.’’
