The Major League Baseball Spring Training schedule for 2020 has been released and the Blue Jays aren’t inked in for their annual tune-up exhibition game in Montreal.
The Jays’ 31-game spring schedule was unveiled on Monday (along with the rest of the league) but the March 23 and 24 dates, which have been played in Montreal since 2013, don’t include a stop in La belle province.

Since 2014, the Jays have been using the “Big O” as a final tune-up before the regular season to a packed stadium of hungry Montreal baseball fans.
This past March, the Blue Jays hosted the Milwaukee Brewers at the Olympic Stadium for a two-game set.
