Buffalo could soon be the newest home of Major League Baseball for at least a season, as the Toronto Blue Jays will not be allowed to play in Canada.

The Canadian government denied the Blue Jays the approval they needed to play in Toronto. At this point, Canada has flattened its coronavirus curve as cases across the United States continue to surge. 

Reports out of Toronto say that the Blue Jays decision is down to Buffalo or Dunedin, Florida, which is home of Toronto's Single-A affiliate. However, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has waived the 14-day quarantine for MLB baseball in New York, allowing the Yankees and Mets to facilitate home games.

"The health commissioner is working on a health protocol with them, and that will be a separate protocol that's between the state and the two teams or whatever teams come back from spring training," Cuomo said.

With a decision still on the horizon, the Blue Jays released the following statement:

"The safety of the broader community - our - fans and the team remained the priority of everyone involved and with that the club completely respects the federal government’s decision."

Sources tell Spectrum News Sahlen Field needs better outfield lighting, bigger dugouts to help socially distance, and more to meet MLB standards.

"We are continuing to explore the best ways to adapt the available spaces in our ballpark to meet the needs of the Blue Jays,” said Bisons General Manager Mike Buczkowski.

The idea that MLB might be hitting the Buffalo diamond has city and regional officials excited.

Mayor Byron Brown tweeted: "As mayor of Buffalo I would love to see the Blue Jays play at Sahlen Field."

County Executive Mark Poloncarz also took to Twitter, saying: "The Buffalo Blue Jays sounds good to me. Let’s find a way to make this happen."
