Because the Canadian federal government shut down their request to play in Toronto last weekend after weeks of seemingly giving indication they would be approved. Even the premier of the province said approval would be forthcoming shortly before the feds declined (likely because declining was the politically popular thing to do).
PA's governor shut them down as well in Pittsburgh (no political upside to approval and only downside), which left them with only Buffalo left. |

The cheap corporate owner likely also didn't want to pay the money needed to renovate the park to make it close to playable (it needs major lighting upgrades to get up to MLB broadcast standards, the field needs significant work to make it playable, and the clubhouses have no space for social distancing among other issues). Easier (and cheaper) to try to share another's.

Kyle Zimmer is starting today. Don't know why we can't bring up another young guy instead of killing the bullpen

With the expanded rosters they have like 16 pitchers on the staff. Makes it a lot easier to throw some bullpen games in there. They basically have 13 relief pitchers right now. I think they're just killing time for Keller and Junis to get back.

Mahomes to buy majority share in Royals from Sherman after he retires from football having won 7 Super Bowls and 5 MVP's and live out the rest of his days happily in KC.
Who does Mahomes hire as his first GM in 2040? |

Yeah I understand that, but what's the harm getting those guys some experience?

The balls seemed extra juiced this year. Pop flys are flying out of the ballpark.

Even the Tigers are owning the Royals. #1 pick may not be off the board yet.
