Manfred says talks have been held about possibility of regular season games in Montreal
TORONTO — Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that discussions have been held about the possibility of playing regular season games in Montreal.
However, there are no immediate plans to tinker with the annual two-game pre-season series that the Toronto Blue Jays have played at Olympic Stadium. The 2017 regular-season schedule was released last month so that would make 2018 the earliest possibility.
The Blue Jays have capped their pre-season in Montreal for three straight years. They plan to do so again next year with a two-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox were a big draw last spring as a two-game total of 106,102 fans came out to watch at the former home of the Montreal Expos.
