The Toronto Blue Jays announced that it will "host the greater part of its home schedule," in Buffalo for the 2020 season.

"We are extremely grateful to have a home in Buffalo this season, thanks to the openness, creativity, and partnership of the Buffalo Bisons, Major League Baseball and the Blue Jays staff," Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro said in a statement. "This process has no doubt tested our team's resilience, but our players and staff refuse to make excuses."

Toronto has been on the search since July 19, after Canada didn’t allow the team to play in the country amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Blue Jays will now play at Sahlen Field in downtown Buffalo. The ballpark is the home of the Buffalo Bisons, Toronto's AAA affiliate.

Toronto will kick off its 2020 season against the Rays in Tampa. The Blue Jays' first home game is slated for July 29 against the Washington Nationals.
