After wrapping up their Rogers Centre training camp, the likeliest scenarios has the BlueJays turning into the unexpected houseguests of either the Pirates or the Orioles. ShiDavidi has the latest on where the Jays could call 'home' this season ⤵️
That it has come down to this, with barely a week remaining before the club’s July 29 “home” opener against the Washington Nationals, is a result of the Blue Jays needing the federal government’s rejection of their plan “to become a reality for all of the stakeholders to put it all systems go on these potential contingencies,” said Atkins.
Threading the needle now involves satisfying all the season’s health and safety protocols, and Atkins described getting teams to “open up their architectural drawings and work through them and talk about social distancing within those facilities without ever compromising theirs is the first hurdle.” The July 29 is in conflict with home dates for both the Pirates and Orioles, but since the Blue Jays are already in Washington, they could stay there as the home team for a pair with the Nationals. The July 31-Aug. 2 series against the Philadelphia Phillies is in conflict with Baltimore not Pittsburgh, and could be played at Citizens Bank Park if they ended up at Camden.
