Big-league baseball in Buffalo? Better believe it.

After high-profile rejections from Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and all of Canada, the Blue Jays landed in the city that's coveted their home games from the start: Buffalo.

For President of Rich Baseball Operations Mike Buczkowski, it's almost too crazy to believe; a city hosting MLB games less than a month after learning it wouldn't host a minor-league season.

"If you would have submitted this as a movie script, it would've been turned down because people would've said it's not believable enough," he said. "There's no way that that could happen. It literally has been a roller-coaster from the day I was in spring training, where they shut down the facilities and cleared everything out, because of the COVID outbreaks. To hopefully going to play a Bisons season, to the cancellation. Unimaginable."

Now comes the tricky part: getting Sahlen Field in major-league shape. There isn't much time to upgrade the lights and locker rooms, and the on-field bullpens may need to be relocated.

"There's a lot of work we need to do to make this ballpark ready for Major League Baseball. We're committed to doing it," Buczkowski said. "The Blue Jays are committed to doing it. They've had people here for about a week looking at possibilities."

As much as this is a boon for Buffalo baseball fans, Buczkowski claimed it's also an opportunity for Buffalo to make an impression on a national level.

"We're gonna show not just the Blue Jays, but we're going to show the world what Buffalo's about," he said. "How we're going to come together to make this an advantage for the Blue Jays. To make this a place where they can call home and as I said from the onset, hopefully win a World Series championship."

The soonest Buffalo could host an MLB game is Friday, July 31, assuming the necessary upgrades are completed in time.
