With Major League Baseball not currently proposing a hub-city model for a potential 2020 season, the Toronto Blue Jays may be forced to find a venue outside Canada to play home games.

When asked about the Blue Jays training or playing games in Toronto during the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada's chief public health officer did not raise the possibility of waiving quarantine rules.

Canada has waived the 14-day quarantine for Vancouver, Edmonton or Toronto being a potential NHL hub city, agreeing to a cohort quarantine where teams stay in an essential bubble during the Stanley Cup tournament. Dr. David Williams, Ontario's chief medical officer of health, said he has not received a specific proposal for games in Canada from MLB.

"We have ways that we've worked with the NHL to consider that. I have not seen anything specific yet with Major League Baseball at this time."
