So ... Where Are The Blue Jays Going To Play?

As Kaitlyn McGrath reported on July 18, the Canadian government denied the Blue Jays' request to play their 2020 home games in Toronto.

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino:

Based on the best available public health advice, we have concluded the cross-border travel required for MLB regular-season play would not adequately protect Canadians' health and safety. As a result, Canada will not be issuing a National Interest Exemption for the MLB's regular season at this time. ...
We understand professional sports are important to the economy and to Canadians. At the same time, our government will continue to take decisions at the border on the basis of the advice of our health experts in order to protect the health and safety of all Canadians.
