By Linda Morgan

The Toronto Blue Jays will soon be a little closer to home.

Effective June 1st, the team will be playing in Buffalo.

It's the second year in a row the team has played there instead of Toronto, due to the pandemic.

The team's first opponent at Sahlen Field will be the Miami Marlins.

Current restrictions will allow for 24 percent capacity at the stadium, and tickets for the first eight Jays games will go on sale May 13th at 10 a.m.

Meanwhile, the Bisons have temporarily moved to Trenton, New Jersey.
