Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro is lobbying the federal government to allow the team to host games in Toronto, but the club is also preparing its spring training facility in Florida as a backup. ShiDavidi has the latest.
TORONTO – As the distasteful back-and-forth between Major League Baseball and its players continues, the Blue Jays have focused their planning for potential 2020 home games on the Rogers Centre in Toronto and TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Fla.
The order would allow players to bypass the country’s 14-day arrival quarantine and was approved only after the NHL established a plan that met public health requirements, according to the national news agency. The Blue Jays, to some degree, considered using other locations, as well, including Tropicana Field and Marlins Park, but decided to lock in on Dunedin as its secondary location. There is no prep work happening around other venues, including Sahlen Field, home to the triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons.
