The Blue Jays have found a home. They’ll play a majority of their home games this year in Buffalo, after being denied a request to play in Toronto and later Pittsburgh.

The Jays were supposed to host the Washington Nationals for two games Wednesday and Thursday, then host the Philadelphia Phillies on the weekend. Those five games will instead be played at the home stadiums of the Nationals and Phillies, respectively, with Toronto designated as the home team.

The Blue Jays will now play their first 16 games of the 60-game season away from Buffalo.

The store will also offer ladies wear, mens wear, food, health, beauty and home goods products such as bedding, bath towels and sheets.
