In this Wall Street Journal Article, Jason Gay jokes about hosting the Tronoto Blue Jays in your backyard.

A few quick questions:
Do you have a backyard?
Do you have food in the refrigerator?
And if yes to both 1 and 2:

Would you be interested in hosting home games for the Toronto Blue Jays this summer?

This crisis began last week in Canada, when our neighbor to the north put the kibosh on the Blue Jays hosting games in its Toronto SkyDome, which is now called the Rogers Centre, but who cares, it will always be the SkyDome to me, sorry, Rogers.

Canada didn't want its Jays and a bunch of U.S. baseball clubs traipsing back and forth over the border, because Canada has its you-know-what together on the coronavirus, and we here in the U.S. still don't have our you-know-what together on the coronavirus.

It wasn't a baseball thing, it was a public-health thing. Canada reported 505 new cases on July 22. The U.S. reported 68,377. Unless the Blue Jays want to play intrasquads until 2021, they need to find a way to play all of their games in the U.S.

The US is likely resting way more.

So what's the story behind their home stadium and why can't they play there?

"International travel" or something?

That is correct. It is considered non essential travel. And some quarantine Canadian rules.

The Blue Jays Will Play Home Games in Buffalo. Out of options and with their scheduled home-opener just five days away, the Blue Jays settled for what outfielder Randal Grichuk previously described as the "worst-case" scenario: They will relocate to Buffalo, N.Y., the home of their Triple-A affiliate.

Before the Blue Jays can play at Sahlen Field, the lighting system must be updated to bring it up to the standard of a MLB television broadcast. Significant improvements to the clubhouses, dugouts and other common areas are also in order to comply with baseball's social-distancing protocols. Even with the reconfigurations, playing in a minor-league facility puts the Blue Jays at a disadvantage, since their home ballpark will lack the modern weight room, training room and other amenities standard across the majors.

They should play the Expos all season long

Not sure how being 90 minutes away from their homes in Toronto is really the worst case scenario, especially for those with families.
