Blue Jays Bus From Phoenix to Southern California After Their Charter Plane Is Grounded
A joystick problem forced the team to choose buses over a replacement plane that would not have arrived until 10 p.m., Schneider said.
- On Sunday night, the Toronto Blue Jays bused from Phoenix to Southern California after a mechanical issue grounded their charter plane, arriving at their Orange County hotel around 12:30 a.m.
- Manager John Schneider learned of the joystick failure at about 4 p.m. Sunday, and with a replacement plane from Vancouver unable to arrive until 10 p.m., the team voted to drive.
- Three buses transported the traveling party of about 40, while pitcher Dylan Cease flew commercial from Phoenix to Orange County for Monday night's series opener against the Los Angeles Angels.
- Pitcher Max Scherzer, who preferred flying, jokingly reprimanded Schneider for the decision, noting the team will hold a "trial in kangaroo court" to address the travel dispute.
- Reflecting on the cramped six-hour journey, Schneider remarked, "I felt like I was back in the Northwest League," though the team arrived safely and prepared for the upcoming series.
