The team said in a statement that it was working on finding a new home field.
"The club completely respects the federal government's decision," Blue Jays CEO Mark Shapiro said in the statement."Though our team will not be playing home games at Rogers Centre this summer, our players will take the field for the 2020 season with the same pride and passion representative of an entire nation.""We remain open to considering future restart plans for the post-season should the risk of virus transmission diminish," he said.
Speaking to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Saturday, he said such travel restrictions were already"mutually agreed" to by the U.S. and Canada as a way to slow the spread of the coronavirus. "We're not taking decisions as fans," Mendicino said."We're taking decisions on the basis of evidence and the advice we’ve received to protect the health and safety of all Canadians."
Canada is standing “on guard for thee”. Good decision. We fans will still cheer and support the team no matter where they play. Stay safe and bring home the wins. ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
The Buffalo Blue Jays does have a nice, alliterative ring to it.
It must be nice living in a country that has some common sense.
'If you play the filthy Americans you can't come home'
They are smart not letting in dirty Americans
Thank you Ottawa!! Sports are NOT essential 🙄😂😂😂😂
Sanity. C'mon MLB - stop pretending there isn't a deadly epidemic sweeping the nation. CANCEL THE SEASON.
So, Buffalo finally gets a major league baseball team?
this should apply too NHL teams traveling from the US to the playoffs They should at least be required to quarantine after going into Canada and coming back as well
their model was terrible, glad to hear Toronto won’t be a revolving door for baseball
Steeeerike ONE!
Right decision
Every other country in the world is taking this virus seriously. Only the orange blimp and the GOP is in denial. They are our doom. Trump is a buffoon.
It's the right call......a tough call, but this is what leadership is about. Sometimes the right thing to do isn't the easy thing to do....a lesson Trump and some of his GOP bootlickers could learn
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
who cares
due to the fact Canada isn't being run into the ground by a Russian controlled fascist, and haven't collectively lost their minds
