The Blue Jays are hitting the road in January for a Winter Tour that will make stops in four cities, as the club tries to reach out to fans across Canada.

On Friday, the club announced it will be taking players and personnel to four cities: Scarborough, Ontario; Kitchener, Ontario; Calgary, Alberta; and Vancouver, British Columbia. General manager Alex Anthopoulos and new manager John Farrell will be taking part in the tour, as will left-handers Ricky Romero, Brett Cecil, outfielder Travis Snider and catcher J.P. Arencibia.


The tour will consist of skills clinics, school visits and other community events. It's reminiscent of the old Winter Caravans that were a staple of the franchise in the 1980s and early 1990s, when the club travelled from coast-to-coast.

Beeston also mentioned the possibility of games being played in other parts of the country at some point in the future. In the past, the Blue Jays have played games at the end of Spring Training in cities like Vancouver, Ottawa and even a failed attempt in Saint John, New Brunswick, that had to be cancelled because of snow.
