The Blue Jays are playing preseason baseball in Montreal for the third consecutive year. The Toronto Blue Jays will face the Red Sox for a pair of games on April 1-2 at Olympic Stadium, the former home of the Expos.

For the Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, the trip will represent a homecoming. Dombrowski was the general manager of the Expos from 1988-91.

“It’s great, it’s great for baseball,” Dombrowski said. “Boston isn’t too far away, so they were always a popular team in Montreal. I look forward to going there. I always loved my time in Montreal. It’s a beautiful city. We’ll be there a very short time, but you’ve seen how they draw for these games. There will be a lot of excitement there.”

The previous springtime games at the Big O drew 96,545 fans in 2015 and 96,350 fans in 2014.

The last major league baseball game played at the Olympic Stadium was on Sept. 29, 2004 when the Montreal Expos played the Florida Marlins.
