The Blue Jays Have Arrived In Rochester, New York

Blue Jays' coaching staff was expected to arrive in Rochester on Tuesday. However it is unclear if any the staff reported to the flower city. Wroc News 8 reported that equipment has made it's way to the city.

Wroc news 8 reported "Toronto’s practice squad will be spending the next couple months at Frontier Field in case the big club in Buffalo needs help."

The reserve Blue Jays are due in town some time this afternoon. It is unclear where the team will be staying when they're not occupying the nest of the City's Rochester Red Wings.

In response to the teams arrival the city's triple A baseball team tweeted out, "We will be hosting the Toronto Blue Jays Depth Squad this season. Please give them a warm Rochester welcome! Who needs a garbage plate @BlueJays."

If you've never had a Rochester Garbage Plate, stop by the city some time and try one. I recommend a white hot plate with "everything"

Alexa Ross wrote, "The taxi squad, will practice, work out, and play intersquad games at Frontier Field throughout the season."

The Red Wings have a 113 page document, with requirements for the team to get the stadium up to the health and safety protocol standards set by the MLB.

Red Wings General Manager Dan Mason released the following statement, “It’s going to be cool to have the Jays and we’re excited to host them the rest of the season. We’re really happy to help out, and it’s just going to be cool to feel like we’re a part of the 2020 baseball season.

The way I figured it out, we’ll have about 12 players in our home clubhouse. In the community clubhouse, we’ll have around 10 or 12, and in the visitor’s club house, we’ll have probably eight or nine.”

While the Red Wings aren't home, it's nice to have the Blue Jays organization in the Rochester area. Hopefully, this could result in a future partnership between the two teams.
