Canadian government reportedly puts the ixn-eh? on MLB games in their country, so Jays will be hosting baseball elsewhere.

Things may be different in September, but I doubt it.



Blue Jays are considering playing in Buffalo or Dunedin, Florida.



The stadium in Buffalo has substandard lighting and Dunedin is in the COVID-friendly state of Florida. I'd say the Blue Jays should opt for 4pm games in Buffalo.

My first thought: Hey, that's only three hours from me. Maybe I'll go to a game!



My second thought: Oh, yeah. Right. Never mind.

Curious how this affects long-term relations between MLB and The Great White North.



It'd be hard for it to be too much a PR problem. It's not like the cardboard cutouts in Buffalo are gonna boo during "O, Canada!"

As of this afternoon, the Blue Jays still don't know where they'll be playing their home games. The Buffalo report cited above must have been premature.



A Toronto beat writer interviewed on yesterday's ESPN telecast said that the Jays are considering other AAA parks, including Charlotte. Locating in Florida seems like a terrible choice. The Marlins and Rays should be seeking alternatives.

I haven't read anything about this, so maybe what I'm about to write is well known, but it just occurs to me that this is much less about the Blue Jays hosting games at the Steve J. Rogers Center than it is about letting players go from the miserable and plague-stricken United States back and forth across the Canadian border.

My son informed me today that Montreal hasn't had a team in ten years.

Thank you Mets for taking away my knowledge of MLB when you soLd out to SNY



Embarrassing

Yes. Because under Trump, the US is now the shithole country that our shitbag president characterizes other countries as being.

It doesn't have to be a major league park because seating capacity isn't an issue.

What about Hartford? Half way between NY and Boston, so travel isn't an issue and it is only a few years old, so it would have up-to-date amenities for the players and good places for them to dine after the games.

Just sayin'.

Baltimore now in the picture. Pittsburgh and Buffalo not out.
