Blue Jays to play their 2020 home games at Sahlen Field in Buffalo

There has been a lot of speculation as to where the Toronto Blue Jays will be playing there home games this shortened season after learning that the Canadian government has denied them permission to play at the Rogers Centre.

At first, their Spring Training diamond is in Dunedin was one of the expected locations, but the state of Florida has seen a surge in coronavirus cases so it wouldn’t be a safe choice for the players. Pittsburgh’s PNC Park and Baltimore’s Camden Yards also emerged as a possibility. But it appears that they are choosing one of their least desired options as their home location for 2020.

According to reports, the Blue Jays have reached an agreement to play their home games at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, the ballpark of the triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons.

Many players were initially opposed to the idea of playing in Buffalo because the lighting system is not up to major league standards, but they have unfortunately exhausted all their options due to their inability to get government approval in several states.

The Blue Jays will play their first two home games in Washington vs the Nationals, but after that they will head over to Buffalo for the duration of the season.
