A packed summer training camp schedule has the Toronto Blue Jays squeezing in workouts, practice sessions and intrasquad games ahead of a fast-approaching regular season.
New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman, who spent five seasons with the Blue Jays, added more fuel to the social-media fire when he replied to Mitchell's tweet.
The team has expressed its desire to play home games at the dome during the 60-game regular season. A decision is expected in the coming days. If Rogers Centre is ruled out for the season, the Blue Jays would likely play at TD Ballpark at their spring-training facility in Dunedin, Fla., but that backup plan has not been finalized.
"1) Let me be clear. We are on board with the TWO week quarantine. I currently have a PAID for condo a block away from the stadium that I can't use. At no point would I risk public safety or not follow rules. Is it wrong to want to live in a place that I've already paid for..." "I wanna make it clear, we're not asking for special treatment," Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk tweeted Friday. "We understand that we need to stay in a "quarantine bubble". We wanna make sure everyone is safe.
Most players -- about 46 in total, Montoyo said earlier in the week -- flew to Toronto on a charter last Sunday.
