The Blue Jays are continuing to prepare for a training camp at Rogers Centre as they await official approval from the Canadian government,. ShiDavidi has the latest information regarding what that entails:
at the club’s Dunedin facility a week and a half ago, amid a spike in spread of the coronavirus across the state, as well as elsewhere in the U.S.
Though club president and CEO Mark Shapiro was in contact with all three levels of government throughout the shutdown, he could not submit a formal proposal until Major League Baseball and the players union settled on details of the season last week. Shortstop Jordan Groshans, 2019 first-round pick Alex Manoah, right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson — part of the return in the Marcus Stroman deal with the New York Mets last summer — and catchers Riley Adams and Alejandro Kirk were all included on the 58-man list.
