With the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging around the world, it has put many things on pause or into a modified environment, which has included professional sports and baseball.
The 2020 baseball season even started late with Opening Day taking place end of July, and Spring Training back in March was halted halfway through.
When the baseball season was given the green light, the Blue Jays were left without a set place to hold training camp. They were hoping to have training camp hosted at the Rogers Centre, which was ultimately approved by the federal government. Part of the reason why they were allowed was because there’s a hotel attached to the stadium to allow players to quarantine, which was mandatory for non-essential travel crossing the United States-Canada border.
