The Twitter rumour mill is reporting that the Jays will announce on Friday that Vancouver will be the new home of their short season A team, replacing Auburn.
The report comes via John Lott who is retweeting a report from one Kelsey Brade who is a Vancouver based sports anchor and producer. Some of our west coast bauxites can comment on how much we should believe Mr. Brade.
This move has been quietly rumoured for a while now, ever since word broke that the Jays were leaving Auburn. Recently the Jays Charlie Wilson said the Jays would have exciting news in the off-season about the minor league affiliations. From the Jays perspective, a team in Vancouver will extend the "brand" and continue to try and make the Jays, Canada's team.
So west coasters, are you happy? Are you more likely to see the Canadians now?
