David Price's glorious arrival in Toronto has been delayed ... due to car trouble
Price has car trouble en route to Toronto
David Price was traded to the Blue Jays on Thursday, and while he was excited about playing for his new team, he wasn't in too much of a rush to hit the road:
I don't care what happens today...I'm taking BP at 2 in Camden no matter what...don't care what anyone says

Once that was finished, however, he gathered his things and began to make the journey to our neighbor to the north.
He hyped the fans up, first:
#jays on my feet!! See what I did there?! I'll just stay with @drake drizzy rogers...t o r o n t o so high up I got birds in my condo

And his new teammates:
All these people are excited about @DAVIDprice14 and im just here like when does Astro get here???? ������������ #JustKidding #LetsGoooo

And set off -- only to encounter some vehicular difficulties while en route on Friday. Not only did he have car trouble, but there was some other ... shall we say ... gastrointestinal distress as well:
Sweet tire blew out on my way to the six... waiting on #AAA with bubble guts is always fun!! To trust or not to trust ������?!

You hate to see that. And, even when the repair truck arrived, things didn't get much better:
Uncccllleeeeee...no one has tires to fit the back of my car so my presence in the 6 is gonna be delayed another couple hours...unreal!

But, after a quick plea for help on the Dan Patrick Show, assistance was on the way:
When you do an interview with @dpshow people listen!! Got #belletire guys running over to see if they can help!! Thanks #dp

And his car -- apparently a Jaguar XJ named Jenny -- is now on the mend:

Don't worry, Jays fans: He'll get there. Eventually. Until then, all he has is our sympathy. And, well, the mirth of former teammates:
@DAVIDprice14 hahahaha!!!!!
