Minor-league team thriving in Vancouver
www.sportsnet.caHere’s the latest on the Vancouver Canadians Professional Baseball Club based on available public reporting.
Direct answer
- As of the most recent reporting in 2023, the Vancouver Canadians were sold to Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH) and remain the High-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays in Vancouver.
Context and notable points
- Ownership transition: In 2023, the club announced a sale to Diamond Baseball Holdings, with existing leaders Jake Kerr and Jeff Mooney continuing in leadership roles under the new ownership structure. The move was framed as a step to grow the team’s community impact while aligning with DBH’s portfolio of affiliated minor league clubs.
- Location and affiliation: The team continues to play at Nat Bailey Stadium (The Nat) in Vancouver and remains the High-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. This continuity supports the local fan base and the Jays’ development pipeline.
- Recent on-field context: The Vancouver Canadians compete in Minor League Baseball’s system and have had varied results in recent seasons, with coverage of both winning streaks and losing streaks during 2025–2026 prep periods. For example, 2026 coverage from MiLB notes a six-game losing streak and a shutout win earlier in the season.
Where to follow for the latest
- Official team and MiLB channels typically publish current season results, standings, and any ownership or facility updates:

Illustrative note
