Kevin Pillar states the MLB should add teams in Montreal and Vancouver
During a recent episode of Foul Territory, Pillar was on and spoke of his great experiences playing in other Canadian cities during his time with the Blue Jays in which he played in the minor in Vancouver and exhibition games in Montreal.
Pillar stated that both of these cities could easily have MLB teams as he believes the fans in these cities would love it and anytime he has played there, the ballpark has always been packed.
MLB needs to find a way to get more Blue Jays games played across Canada.
Fans are DYING for baseball in Montreal, says

While Montreal did once have the Expos for a long time but then moved to Washington following the 2003 MLB season, it seems like many including Pillar believe that a team could still work there.
A additional Canadian team would take away some eyes from the Blue Jays but at the same time would help grown the game in Canada since there is only one team in the entire country for the moment.
Some might see these comments by Pillar as a hot take but on the other side, many Canadian fans would love to see another team back in Canada and Montreal would be a perfect situation.
The Expos used to play in the Olympic stadium in Montreal which is currently under some major renovations which is another reason why this could actually work.
The Blue Jays take on the Dodgers at 10:10 PM tonight at Dodgers Stadium for the first game of the series.
