Blue Jays exploring playing home games in Buffalo for MLB's shortened season, per report

The Toronto Blue Jays, the only MLB team located in another country, may be exploring alternate accommodations for the upcoming shortened season.

According to Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News, the Jays have reached out to the owners of their Triple-A team, the Buffalo Bisons, to talk about possibly headquartering there instead of in Toronto for the duration of the coronavirus-shortened 60-game season.

Why do the Jays need a different home ballpark?

Due to location, the Jays have it tougher than any other team. When an MLB team enters Canada, it’s not the same as entering New York from Connecticut.
