I was listening to the MLB XM radio channel this morning.  They had Pat Tabler on.  He is an announcement for the Blue Jays and he was talking about this.

The reason they are starting the season in Dunedin is because they feel Buffalo will be too cold for MLB players in April and May.  The hope is to return to Toronto when possible but Buffalo is the backup plan where they think will end up being where they play most of their home games.  As a reference, the Raptors are playing their season so far in Tampa and just reached an agreement to play the entire season there, given the hard line Canada has holding to regarding allowing people into the country.

If they do play part or the season in Buffalo, there is a problem with their AAA affliliate, which plays in Buffalo.  They can’t both play there so they are actively looking for a home for the Buffalo AAA franchise for this season.  I would suggest Auburn, Batavia, or Albany as possibilities.

There are issues with playing in Dunedin.  It is in the Rays’ market.  But they have been working together and they have been very understanding with the Blue Jays.  Maybe because they might soon be playing some home games in Canada (Montreal)?

Anyway, the Buffalo AAA franchise needs a home.  I wonder if they could share the Syracuse stadium with the Mets?  Central location for the division anyway...
