Hours after the Toronto Blue Jays announced they will play the majority of their 2020 home games at the ballpark of their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, the Orioles — considered a possible host for their American League rival — issued a statement on the situation.
“The entire Orioles organization has been pleased to work with the Commissioner’s Office of Major League Baseball and the Toronto Blue Jays to collectively explore alternative ballpark solutions for the 2020 season,” the statement read. “We are thrilled that despite the considerable challenges faced by our league under the circumstances of the pandemic and with short notice, our collective efforts in this initiative have favorably concluded with the Blue Jays finding a home for this season.
