David Price gets a flat tire on his way to Toronto
David Price hasn't even arrived in Toronto yet and isn't expected to make his first start for the Blue Jays until Monday, but he's already faced his first challenge with his new team.
Price encountered some car troubles on the drive up to the city from Detroit on Friday, delaying his arrival by a couple hours.
According to Price's Twitter account, his back tire blew out and he was having difficulty finding a replacement. After some time passed, a tow truck showed up to take his sports car, which he has apparently named Jenny, and he had to hitch a ride all the way to Toronto.
