The '''Toronto Blue Jays''' are a Canadian professional [[baseball]] team based in [[Toronto]]<!--See talk page for discussion about "a" vs. "the"-->. The Blue Jays compete in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) as a member club of the [[American League]] (AL) [[American League East|East Division]]. Since 1989, the team has played its home games primarily at [[Rogers Centre]] in downtown Toronto.

The name "Blue Jays" originates from the [[blue jay|bird of the same name]], and blue is also the [[Sports in Toronto#Toronto's association with the colour blue|traditional colour of Toronto's]] [[College athletics|collegiate]] and [[Major professional sports teams of the United States and Canada|professional sports teams]] including the [[Toronto Maple Leafs|Maple Leafs]] ([[ice hockey]]) and the [[Toronto Argonauts|Argonauts]] ([[Canadian football]]). In 1976, out of the over 4,000 suggestions, 154 people selected the name "Blue Jays."<ref>{{cite news|last=Matheson|first=Keegan|title=Here's how the Blue Jays got their name|url=https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/toronto-blue-jays-team-name-history|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=BlueJays.com|date=December 21, 2020|access-date=July 18, 2021}}</ref><!-- The Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC use a version of red as their main colour. --> In addition, the team was originally owned by the [[Labatt Brewing Company]], makers of the popular beer Labatt Blue. Colloquially nicknamed the "'''Jays'''," the team's official colours are royal blue, navy blue, red, and white.<ref name="NewBlueJaysLogo2011" /><ref name="BlueJaysLogos" /> 

An [[expansion team|expansion franchise]], the club was founded in Toronto in 1977. Originally based at [[Exhibition Stadium]], the team began playing its home games at SkyDome upon its opening in 1989. They are the second MLB franchise to be based outside the United States, and currently the only team based outside the U.S. after the first Canadian franchise, the [[Montreal Expos]], became the [[Washington Nationals]] in 2005.<!-- American does not always refer to the United States in this case. --> Since 2000, the Blue Jays have been owned by [[Rogers Communications]] and in 2004, SkyDome was purchased by that company, which renamed it Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays and the [[Atlanta Braves]]{{efn|The Atlanta Braves are owned by [[Liberty Media]].}} are the only two MLB teams under corporate ownership; the Blue Jays are the only American League team to be under such ownership. 

Due to border restrictions brought about by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the Blue Jays played home games at [[TD Ballpark]] in [[Dunedin, Florida]], for April and May of the [[2021 Major League Baseball season|2021 season]], and [[Sahlen Field]] in [[Buffalo, New York]], for the [[2020 Major League Baseball season|2020 season]] as well as June and July 2021, returning home to Toronto as of July 30 of that year.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Blue Jays went through struggles typical of an expansion team, frequently finishing last in their division. In 1983, they had their [[1983 Toronto Blue Jays season|first winning season]] and two years later, became [[1985 Toronto Blue Jays season|division champions]]. From 1985 to 1993, the Blue Jays were an AL East powerhouse, winning five division championships in nine seasons, including three consecutive from [[1991 Toronto Blue Jays season|1991]] to [[1993 Toronto Blue Jays season|1993]]. During that run, the team also became back-to-back [[World Series]] champions in {{wsy|1992}} and {{wsy|1993}}, led by a core group of [[List of Major League Baseball awards|award]]-winning [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star]] players, including [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|Hall of Famer]] [[Roberto Alomar]], [[Joe Carter]], [[John Olerud]], and [[Devon White (baseball)|Devon White]]. The Blue Jays became the first (and, to date, only) team outside the U.S. to appear in and win a World Series and the fastest AL expansion team to do so, winning in its 16th year. As of [[2019 Major League Baseball season|2019]], they are one of only two MLB franchises that are undefeated through multiple World Series appearances, along with the [[National League (baseball)|National League]]'s [[Miami Marlins]]. After 1993, the Blue Jays failed to qualify for the playoffs for 21 consecutive seasons until clinching a playoff berth and division championship in [[2015 Toronto Blue Jays season|2015]]. The team clinched a second consecutive playoff berth in [[2016 Toronto Blue Jays season|2016]], after securing an [[List of American League Wild Card winners|AL wild card]] position. In both years, the Blue Jays beat the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]] in the [[American League Division Series|AL Division Series]], but lost the [[American League Championship Series|AL Championship Series]]. Most recently, they qualified for the playoffs as a wild card team in [[2020 Toronto Blue Jays season|2020]], [[2022 Toronto Blue Jays season|2022]], and [[2023 Toronto Blue Jays season|2023]].

From 1977 to 2024, the Blue Jays' overall win-loss record is {{Win–loss record|w=3,761|l=3,788|t=3}} ({{winpct|3761|3788|3}}).<ref>{{cite web |title=Toronto Blue Jays Team History & Encyclopedia |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/TOR/ |website=Baseball Reference |publisher=Sports Reference LLC |access-date=September 30, 2024}}</ref>

==History==
{{Main|History of the Toronto Blue Jays}}
The Toronto Blue Jays came into existence in 1976,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/history/timeline1.jsp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015063835/http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/history/timeline1.jsp|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 15, 2007|title=Blue Jays Timeline|work=MLB.com|access-date=January 18, 2017}}</ref> as one of two teams slated to join the [[American League]] for the following season, via the [[1977 Major League Baseball expansion]]. [[Toronto]] had been mentioned as a potential major league city as early as the 1880s and been home to the [[Toronto Maple Leafs (International League)|Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team]] of the [[International League]], from 1896 to 1967. In January 1976, the [[San Francisco Giants]] nearly relocated to Toronto after owner [[Horace Stoneham]] agreed to sell the team to a Canadian consortium. The group, which included [[Labatt Breweries of Canada]], ''[[The Globe and Mail]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Howard Webster, and the [[Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce]] (CIBC), planned to rebrand the team as the Toronto Giants and play at [[Exhibition Stadium]]. However, a court ruling halted the move, and the Giants remained in San Francisco. Despite this setback, Toronto's ambition for an MLB team persisted, leading to their successful bid in the 1976 American League expansion, driven by a need to balance the league after Seattle was granted a team as a result of a lawsuit over their loss of the Pilots.

The new Toronto franchise, purchased for $7 million, was named the Toronto Blue Jays following a contest that attracted over 4,000 suggestions. The name reflected Toronto's tradition of using blue in team colors and was influenced by majority owner Labatt Breweries' flagship beer, Labatt Blue. The franchise's first employee, [[Paul Beeston]], began as vice president of business operations, and before the inaugural 1977 season, [[Peter Bavasi]] and [[Pat Gillick]] were appointed as president and assistant general manager, respectively. The Blue Jays debuted on April 7, 1977, with a win against the [[Chicago White Sox]] amid a snowstorm, marking the beginning of a journey from early struggles to eventual success. Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Blue Jays showed gradual improvement, highlighted by their first winning season in 1983. The team's fortunes rose significantly under manager [[Bobby Cox]] in 1985 when they won their first American League East title. The late 1980s and early 1990s, under manager [[Cito Gaston]], were particularly successful, with the Blue Jays winning multiple division titles and back-to-back [[World Series]] championships in 1992 and 1993, making them the first team outside the US to achieve this feat. Key players during this golden era included [[Roberto Alomar]], [[Joe Carter]], and [[Dave Stieb]].

After the mid-1990s strike and subsequent downturn, the Blue Jays faced challenges but also saw the rise of talents like [[Roy Halladay]] and [[Carlos Delgado]]. The late 1990s brought brief revitalization with the acquisition of [[Roger Clemens]]. In the early 2000s, general manager [[J.P. Ricciardi]] led a rebuilding phase, culminating in a competitive roster by the mid-2000s. The team's resurgence in the 2010s featured playoff appearances in 2015 and 2016, driven by stars like [[José Bautista]] and [[Josh Donaldson]]. The Blue Jays continue to build for future success, with young talents like [[Vladimir Guerrero Jr.]], [[Bo Bichette]], and [[Cavan Biggio]] leading the charge, though Biggio was later traded in 2024.

=== 2024 season ===
{{main|2024 Toronto Blue Jays season}}
During the off-season, the Blue Jays re-signed Kiermaier and signed utility player [[Isiah Kiner-Falefa]], designated hitter [[Justin Turner]], and pitcher [[Yariel Rodríguez]]. The Blue Jays also traded [[Santiago Espinal]] for a pitching prospect.

During the regular season, the Blue Jays designated Cavan Biggio for assignment and traded him for a prospect afterwards. Before the 2024 trade deadline, the Blue Jays traded away [[Yimi Garcia]], Nate Pearson, Danny Jansen, Justin Turner, Yusei Kikuchi, Trevor Richards, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Kevin Kiermaier.

=== 2025 season ===
{{main|2025 Toronto Blue Jays season}}
The Toronto Blue Jays signed [[Anthony Santander]] and [[Max Scherzer]] in the off-season. The Blue Jays extended the contract of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for $500 million over 14 seasons, making him among the highest paid athletes in the world.

==Culture==
[[File:Ace and Junior exchange greetings before the game (7968713240).jpg|thumb|Ace and Junior exchange greetings before the game. Ace was the Blue Jays' second mascot, introduced in 2000. Junior is a mascot occasionally seen for Junior Jays day promotions.]]

==="OK Blue Jays"===
{{main|OK Blue Jays}}
During the [[seventh-inning stretch]] of home games, before singing "[[Take Me Out to the Ball Game]]," Blue Jay fans sing and clap to the pop song "[[OK Blue Jays]]" by [[Keith Hampshire]] and The Bat Boys, which was released in 1983. The song was remixed in 2003, and since then, the new, shortened version has been played at home games.

==="Let's Go Blue Jays"===
At home games, the "Let's Go Blue Jays" chant is played four times followed by [[Charge (fanfare)|Charge]] being played thrice.

===Mascots===
{{main|Toronto Blue Jays mascots}}
From 1979 to 1999, BJ Birdy served as the Blue Jays' sole mascot, played by Kevin Shanahan. In 2000, he was replaced by a duo named Ace and Diamond. After the 2003 season, Diamond was removed by the team, leaving Ace as the team's sole mascot. Since the 2010s, Ace has been accompanied by his younger brother, Junior. This usually happens on the Jr. Jay Saturday promotions until the end of the [[2017 Toronto Blue Jays season|2017 season]]. The promotions were moved to select Sundays since the [[2018 Toronto Blue Jays season|2018 season]] since the Blue Jays can no longer hold early Saturday afternoon games to accommodate [[MLB on Fox|American national broadcasts on Fox]], though Fox did occasionally broadcast Blue Jays games at the Rogers Centre.

===Sunday Salute===
Since 2012, every Sunday home game, the Blue Jays pay tribute to a member of the [[Canadian Armed Forces]]. During the third inning, the team presents the honoured member with a personalized jersey.<ref name=canada>{{cite web |url=http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/downloads/y2013/2012_community_report.pdf |title=Beyond the Ballpark |access-date=May 6, 2018 |archive-date=August 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812181151/http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/downloads/y2013/2012_community_report.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===National anthems===
Since 2005, "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" has been sung before "[[O Canada]]" at every home game. In some home games (including Canada Day home games and playoffs), "O Canada" is sung in English and French to reflect Canada's bilingual and multicultural heritage.  When "O Canada" was sung during the Home Opener, Canada Day, and playoff games, a giant Canadian flag was presented. Sportsnet only airs the national anthems during the home opener, Canada Day, and playoff games. On June 29, 2019, "O Canada" was sung in [[Cree language|Cree]] and English.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/kiya-bruno-sings-o-canada-cree-english-blue-jays-game/ |title=Kiya Bruno sings O Canada in Cree & English at Blue Jays game |date=June 29, 2019 |access-date=June 30, 2019 |work=sportsnet.ca}}</ref> On September 30, 2021, the [[National Day for Truth and Reconciliation]], "O Canada" was sung in English, French, and [[Anishinaabemowin]]. On the following National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, September 30, 2022, "O Canada" was sung in French, English, and [[Blackfoot language|Blackfoot]]. For Blue Jays road games, "O Canada" is sung before the "Star-Spangled Banner" as all road games (since the Expos moved to Washington, DC) for the Blue Jays are in the United States.

===Canada Day===
The Blue Jays traditionally host an afternoon home game during [[Canada Day]]. During the game, the team wears red jerseys instead of blue jerseys. During the pre-game ceremony, a giant Canadian flag is carried by members of the Canadian Armed Forces while "O Canada" is sung in English and French by a member of the [[Royal Canadian Air Force Band]]. The game was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the game was held in [[Buffalo, New York]] due to Canada–U.S. travel restrictions.

===Jays Shop===
[[File:Toronto Blue Jays Shop, Rogers Centre -throughglass (35678680363).jpg|thumb|Exterior entrance to one of two Jays Shop locations at Rogers Centre]]
The Blue Jays operate a store called the Jays Shop that sells primarily Blue Jays merchandise. This store has two locations at Rogers Centre, though, until January 2023, there was an additional location in the [[Toronto Eaton Centre]] shopping mall.

==Uniforms==
===1977–1988: Pullovers and powder blue===
The Blue Jays wore pullover uniforms during their first decade of existence. The front of the home white uniforms contained the team name in a unique blue/white/blue split-letter style, with the team logo centred below. The road uniforms were powder blue, with the city name in front and the team logo centred below. Initially, the city name was rendered in bold blue letters before gaining a white outline the following season. By 1979, it was replaced by the team name in a split-lettered white/blue/white style. Player numerals also used the split-letter style, except on the road uniform during its first two seasons. Player names in blue were added to both uniforms for the 1980 season but were dropped from the road uniform in 1981. The caps were blue with the Blue Jays logo on a white panel in front.<ref name=originaljays>{{cite web|url=https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2011/11/17/2565793/thread-on-threads-part-i-blue-jays-logos-and-uniforms-1977-1996|title=Thread on Threads Part I: Blue Jays' Logos and Uniforms, 1977-1996|work=SB Nation|date=November 17, 2011|access-date=September 12, 2020}}</ref>

In 2008, the Blue Jays' powder blue road uniform from this era was restored as an alternate home uniform worn every Friday until 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2020/4/30/21240816/blue-jays-jerseys-history-of-powder-blue-uniforms|title=The history of the Blue Jays' powder blue jerseys|work=SB Nation|date=April 30, 2020|access-date=June 7, 2023}}</ref>

===1989–1996: Championship blues===
The Blue Jays adopted buttoned uniforms upon moving to [[Rogers Centre]] (then SkyDome) in 1989. Aside from the additions of buttons and belts, the only change affecting the home uniforms was the relocation of the team logo to the left chest. The road uniforms changed from powder blue to grey, while the city name and numerals in blue/white/blue split letters were emblazoned, and the logo moved to the left chest. Player names were also added to the road uniform. All-blue caps were worn with their road uniform while keeping the white-panelled blue caps at home. By 1993, the all-blue caps were worn universally, supplanting and eventually retiring the original cap design.<ref name=originaljays/>

In 1994 the Blue Jays began wearing blue alternate uniforms with the team name and numerals in white/blue/white split letters.<ref name=originaljays/>

===1997–2003: Red, teal and blue===
The Blue Jays updated their logo prior to the 1997 season with a new bird design and an enlarged red maple leaf at the back. The usage of red was greatly increased on the team's new uniforms. On the home uniforms, the letters and numerals were changed to blue/teal/blue split letters, while road uniform letters and numerals were changed to blue/red/blue split letters. On the alternate blue uniforms, split letters and numerals became red/blue/red. Red also appeared on the pant and sleeve stripes, while the new logo occupied the left sleeve. Player names also took on the new block split-letter style. An updated all-blue cap was paired with the home and road uniforms, while a red-brimmed blue cap (with a modified logo without a baseball) was used with the blue alternates.<ref name=redjays>{{cite web|url=https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2011/11/18/2570581/thread-on-threads-part-ii-blue-jays-logos-and-uniforms-1997-2003|title=Thread on Threads Part II: Blue Jays' Logos and Uniforms, 1997-2003|work=SB Nation|date=November 18, 2011|access-date=September 12, 2020}}</ref>

In 1999 the Blue Jays unveiled an alternate sleeveless white uniform, featuring the same lettering style as the regular home uniform. However, the chest numerals were replaced with the primary logo. Blue undershirts were worn with this uniform.<ref name=redjays/>

Before the 2001 season, slight modifications were made to the uniforms, eliminating the tricolour stripes and adding a single colour piping along the chest and neck. While the home uniforms remained mostly intact, the road uniforms gained blue sleeves in a faux-vest design. On the alternate white uniform (now a faux vest instead of a straight sleeveless design), the new "T-bird" logo replaced the primary "jay leaf" logo, which moved to the left sleeve. In 2003, the "T-bird" logo became the primary, taking over the previous logo's placement on the caps and sleeves, while the alternate white uniforms brought back chest numerals.<ref name=redjays/> The "T-bird" logo depicts a blue jay flexing its biceps and is nicknamed "Muscle Jay."

===2004–2011: The "Black-and-Graphite Jays"===
Before the 2004 season, the Blue Jays adopted a new visual identity, going with a black, silver and graphite motif. The home and black alternates simply read "Jays" in front and in a 3D-oriented diagonal arrangement, with the bird connected to the letter "J." Letters and numerals were in graphite with light blue and silver trim. The road uniforms featured the city name in a similar letter style as the logo, with graphite letters and numerals trimmed in light blue and silver. In 2008, however, amid complaints of illegibility, the Blue Jays tweaked their road uniforms to include 3D-style block letters and numerals in light blue trimmed in black and white, along with chest numerals. The "J-bird" alternate was added to the left sleeve. A red maple leaf would be added on the right sleeve starting in 2009. The Blue Jays wore all-black caps with the "J-bird" logo for much of the uniforms' existence, save for the 2004 and 2005 seasons when they wore all-graphite caps at home, and in 2007 when an alternate all-black cap with the "T" from the previous road uniform was used.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/list/mlb-playoffs-2015-toronto-blue-jays-graphics-history-1993-world-series/12st7zydmsfb71v1kis9msqul4/11|title=Know your postseason graphics: Toronto Blue Jays edition|work=SportingNews.com|date=October 7, 2015|access-date=September 12, 2020|archive-date=October 2, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002024255/https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/list/mlb-playoffs-2015-toronto-blue-jays-graphics-history-1993-world-series/12st7zydmsfb71v1kis9msqul4/11|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/big-read-origins-blue-jays-hated-jersey/|title=Dark Days|author=David Singh|work=Sportsnet|date=October 7, 2015|access-date=September 12, 2020}}</ref>

===Since 2012: Return to traditional look===
Prior to the 2012 season, the Blue Jays unveiled new uniforms and a new logo. The logo is a modernized version of the original logo used from 1977 to 1996. The bird's head was also made sleeker than its 1977–1996 predecessor. The uniforms are similar to the ones used from 1989 to 1996, the team's most successful era. New serifed split letters were also released.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/mlb/bluejays/article/1037201--jays-making-a-uniform-change?bn=1|title=Jays making a uniform change|newspaper=The Toronto Star|date=August 9, 2011|first=Mark|last=Zwolinski}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20111117&content_id=25996396&vkey=news_tor&c_id=tor|title=Blue Jays unveil new logo for 2012 season|date=November 18, 2011|first=Gregor|last=Chisholm|work=BlueJays.MLB.com|access-date=November 19, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111121011820/http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20111117&content_id=25996396&vkey=news_tor&c_id=tor|archive-date=November 21, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2015, the Blue Jays began wearing a modernized version of the white-panelled blue caps they originally wore from 1977 to 1993 as an alternate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2015/8/11/9132723/blue-jays-will-be-wearing-new-white-panel-caps-on-sunday|title=Blue Jays will be wearing new white panel caps on Sunday|work=SB Nation|date=August 11, 2015|access-date=September 12, 2020}}</ref>

Before the 2020 season, the Blue Jays unveiled a modernized version of the powder blue uniforms, featuring navy/white/navy serifed split letters and numerals. These uniforms are paired with a powder-brimmed navy cap and an all-navy helmet.<ref>{{cite web|last=Brudnicki |first=Alexis |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/blue-jays-jerseys-unveiled|title=Blue Jays unveil 'New Blue' jerseys for 2020|work=mlb.com |date=January 18, 2020 |access-date=September 12, 2020}}</ref>

===Canada Day uniforms===
Since 1996, the Blue Jays wore predominantly red or red-accented uniforms every July 1, [[Canada Day]]. The uniforms were based on the team's alternate uniforms they wore at the time but with red as the primary colour. On a few occasions, the Blue Jays added red trim to an existing white uniform (or, in the case of the 2006 uniforms, their black alternates) and sometimes added the [[flag of Canada]] or a red maple leaf on the uniform.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tipofthetower.com/2020/10/31/toronto-blue-jays-top-5-jerseys-all-time/3/|title=Toronto Blue Jays: Ranking the top 5 jerseys of all time|work=FanSided|date=October 31, 2020 |access-date=July 2, 2022}}</ref>

===City Connect uniform===
In 2024, the Blue Jays unveiled a [[City Connect]] uniform inspired by Toronto's nightlife. The jersey is nicknamed "Night Mode" and is a "pitch blue" (dark blue) uniform that features an illustration of the Toronto skyline in royal blue, centred by the "Toronto" wordmark in red. The "pitch blue" colour is a reference to [[Lake Ontario]]'s reflection at night. The traditional Blue Jays logo patch on the sleeve is recoloured to match the uniform. The cap is also "pitch blue" and features a red [[maple leaf]] at the centre of a stylized red and blue "T" in split letters.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Matheson|first=Keegan|title=Blue Jays go 'Night Mode' for City Connect uniforms|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/toronto-blue-jays-unveil-city-connect-uniforms |access-date=May 30, 2024 |website=MLB.com|date=May 30, 2024}}</ref>

==Rivalries==

===Montreal Expos===
{{main|Pearson Cup}}
The [[Montreal Expos]] were the Blue Jays' geographic [[National League (baseball)|National League]] rival, being the other Canadian MLB team before it was relocated. From 1978 to 1986, the teams played an annual mid-season exhibition game known as the [[Pearson Cup]], named after former [[Prime Minister of Canada|Prime Minister]] [[Lester B. Pearson]]. The teams began facing each other in the regular season in 1997 with the advent of [[interleague play]]. During the 2003 and 2004 seasons, the Expos' last two seasons before relocating to Washington, D.C., as the [[Washington Nationals|Nationals]], the Pearson Cup was awarded after a pair of three-game sets.

===Detroit Tigers===
The [[Detroit Tigers]] are the Blue Jays' geographic and traditional rival, dating back to the 1980s, when the teams were AL East contenders. The Tigers moved to the [[American League Central|AL Central]] in 1998, and the rivalry has died down as a result, with the teams facing each other only six to seven times per year since 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.torontosun.com/2014/06/03/jays-tigers-rivalry-isnt-what-it-used-to-be|title=Jays-Tigers rivalry isn't what it used to be|last=Buffery|first=Steve|work=torontosun.com|date=June 3, 2014|access-date=June 25, 2015}}</ref> Depending on traffic and border delays, Detroit is about a four-hour drive from Toronto.

===Seattle Mariners===
Although the [[Seattle Mariners]] are not a divisional rival, many Blue Jays fans from Western Canada travel to Seattle when the Blue Jays play there as Seattle is geographically closer to Western Canada than Toronto is. Depending on traffic and border delays, Seattle is about a three-hour drive from [[Vancouver]]. ''[[The Seattle Times]]'' estimated that Blue Jays fans represented around 70 percent of the crowd in [[T-Mobile Park|Safeco Field]] for a June 2017 weekend series.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/what-safeco-field-is-like-when-it-gets-invaded-by-blue-jays-fans/|title=What Safeco Field Is Like When It Gets Invaded by Blue Jays Fans|website=Sports|date=June 12, 2017 |language=en-ca|access-date=July 18, 2017}}</ref>

===Radio===
{{see also|Toronto Blue Jays Radio Network}}
The Blue Jays' former radio play-by-play announcer, [[Tom Cheek]], called every Toronto Blue Jays game from the team's inaugural contest on April 7, 1977, until June 3, 2004, when he took two games off following the death of his father—a streak of 4,306 consecutive regular-season games and 41 postseason games. Cheek later died on October 9, 2005, and the team commemorated him during their 2006 season by wearing a circular patch on the left sleeve of their home and road game jerseys. The patch was adorned with the letters 'TC', Cheek's initials, as well as a stylized [[microphone]]. Cheek is also honoured with a place in the Blue Jays' "Level of Excellence" in the upper level of the Rogers Centre; the number 4,306 is depicted beside his name. In 2008, Cheek received the third most votes from fans to be nominated for the [[Ford C. Frick Award]] for broadcasting excellence. Cheek finally received the Frick Award posthumously in 2013 after nine years on the ballot.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fordin|first=Spencer|title=Cheek's wife accepts Frick Award with moving speech|date=July 27, 2013 |url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130727&content_id=54970258&c_id=mlb|publisher=MLB|access-date=August 22, 2013}}</ref>

Radio broadcasts of Blue Jays games originate from [[CJCL|Sportsnet 590 CJCL]] in Toronto, which, like the Blue Jays, is owned by Rogers Communications. After Cheek's retirement in 2005, [[Jerry Howarth]], who had been Cheek's broadcasting partner since 1982, took over as lead play-by-play announcer, with [[Mike Wilner]] as the secondary play-by-play announcer. During the 2007 to 2012 seasons, former Blue Jays catcher [[Alan Ashby]] was the colour commentator. Former Blue Jays pitcher [[Jack Morris]] served as the [[Color commentator|colour commentator]] during the 2013 season, after which he was replaced by former Montreal Expos catcher [[Joe Siddall]] since the 2014 season.

Former Blue Jays pitcher [[Dirk Hayhurst]] filled in for Morris for some games during the 2013 season.

Another former catcher for the Blue Jays, [[Gregg Zaun]], has served as the occasional colour commentator from the [[2011 Toronto Blue Jays season|2011 season]] until the end of the [[2017 Toronto Blue Jays season|2017 season]] when he was terminated amid accusations of improper conduct from several female employees.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/sportsnet-terminates-zaun-allegations-inappropriate-behaviour/|title=Sportsnet terminates Gregg Zaun after allegations of inappropriate behaviour|work=[[Sportsnet]]|date=November 30, 2017|access-date=November 30, 2017}}</ref>

Following Howarth's retirement in the 2017 season, [[Ben Wagner]] was hired as the primary radio play-by-play announcer, splitting said duties with [[Dan Shulman]] and Mike Wilner.

In November 2020, Mike Wilner was laid off by the team.<ref>{{Cite web|date=November 27, 2020|title=Sportsnet parts ways with veteran Blue Jays announcer Mike Wilner|url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/2020/11/27/sportsnet-parts-ways-with-veteran-blue-jays-announcer-mike-wilner.html|access-date=February 27, 2021|website=thestar.com|language=en}}</ref> In February 2021, it was announced that "in an effort to minimize travel and closely adhere to team, league, and government protocols related to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Canada|pandemic]]", all radio broadcasts for the [[2021 Major League Baseball season|2021 season]] will be a simulcast of the television broadcast.

The Blue Jays have the largest geographical home market in all of baseball, encompassing all of Canada. Despite this, the number of radio stations that broadcast games is actually quite small. Only 18 radio stations across the country aired at least some Blue Jays games during the 2021 season,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/schedule/blue-jays-radio-network |title=Blue Jays Radio Network|website=Toronto Blue Jays|publisher=MLB |date=April 1, 2021}}</ref> which is fewer affiliates than most MLB teams, which have more stations covering smaller geographic areas.

===Television===
All Blue Jays games are carried nationally on [[Sportsnet]] (which, like the Blue Jays, is owned by Rogers Communications). As of 2023, [[Dan Shulman]] serves as the lead play-by-play announcer, with [[Buck Martinez]] as the primary colour commentator; on select series, [[Toronto Raptors]] play-by-play announcer [[Matt Devlin (sportscaster)|Matt Devlin]] calls the game in place of Shulman, and Joe Siddall works colour commentary in place of Martinez.<ref name=TBJannouncers>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/team/broadcasters |title=Blue Jays Broadcasters |website=Toronto Blue Jays}}</ref> Prior to that, Martinez had been the primary play-by-play announcer alongside colour commentator [[Pat Tabler]], with Shulman only calling games sporadically since 2016. In previous years, the colour analyst role rotated between Pat Tabler, [[Rance Mulliniks]], [[Darrin Fletcher]], and from 2011 to 2017, [[Gregg Zaun]]. Sportsnet became the team's primary carrier soon after it launched in the late 1990s and became the team's exclusive broadcaster in 2010.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100518073220/http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20100513&content_id=10022884&vkey=pr_tor&fext=.jsp&c_id=tor Blue Jays Now Exclusively on Sportsnet], Blue Jays press release, May 13, 2010</ref> As of August 2010, [[Sportsnet One]] also broadcasts Blue Jays games (often in case of scheduling conflicts with the main Sportsnet channels). Rogers was, however, criticized by fans and critics due to Sportsnet One only being carried by [[Rogers Cable]] systems on launch.<ref>{{cite news|last=Dowbiggun|first=Bruce|title=Pelley will need all his smarts to fix Sportsnet One fiasco|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/pelley-will-need-all-his-smarts-to-fix-sportsnet-one-fiasco/article1679219/|work=Globe and Mail|location=Canada|access-date=August 23, 2010|archive-date=August 23, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100823073324/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/pelley-will-need-all-his-smarts-to-fix-sportsnet-one-fiasco/article1679219/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[The Sports Network]] (TSN), which (like the Jays) was owned by Labatt from 1984 to 1995, served as the primary cable television outlet for the Blue Jays prior to the launch of Sportsnet. TSN (and later, its sister channel [[TSN2]]) continued to carry approximately ten Jays games through the 2009 season until May 2010; most recently, [[Rod Black]] handled play-by-play while Tabler served as colour commentator on these telecasts. [[CBC Television|CBC]] has carried Blue Jays games intermittently throughout the team's history, most recently in 2007 and 2008; those broadcasts featured [[Jim Hughson]] as the play-by-play announcer, and former Blue Jays Rance Mulliniks and [[Jesse Barfield]] on colour commentary.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/mulliniks-barfield-join-cbc-s-blue-jays-booth-1.654057?ref=rss |title=Mulliniks, Barfield join CBC's Blue Jays booth |date=June 7, 2007 |access-date=June 18, 2007 |publisher=CBC |location=Canada }}</ref> Games also aired on [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] (except in Montreal) from the team's inception until the late 1990s. The Blue Jays have not appeared over-the-air in Canada in English since 2008.

In 2008, Rogers Communications, owner of the Jays, was granted a license by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|Canadian Radio-Television Commission]] (CRTC) for a "Baseball TV" [[specialty channel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2008/db2008-171.pdf|title=Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2008-171|date=August 13, 2008|access-date=July 2, 2015|publisher=[[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130707212323/http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2008/db2008-171.pdf|archive-date=July 7, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> The channel would have been dedicated to coverage of baseball, combining content from the United States–based [[MLB Network]] with original Canadian content.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball-tv-may-launch-this-year/article1146213/|title=Baseball TV may launch this year|first=William|last=Houston|newspaper=[[The Globe and Mail]]|date=January 7, 2009|access-date=July 2, 2015}}</ref> However, the channel was never launched, and Rogers sponsored an application to allow distribution of the U.S. MLB Network on Canadian providers instead.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2012/2012-637.htm|title=Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2012-637|date=November 21, 2012|access-date=July 2, 2015|publisher=[[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|Canadian Radio-Television Commission]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/rogers-bids-to-bring-mlb-network-to-canada-1.1175509|title=Rogers bids to bring MLB Network to Canada|date=June 20, 2012|access-date=July 2, 2015|publisher=[[CBC News]]}}</ref>

Due to the structure of Rogers' MLB broadcast contracts, Sportsnet is not permitted to use its domestic production for Blue Jays games if the team is in postseason play (as it is technically still considered a regional broadcaster) and instead carries the U.S. broadcast (such as [[MLB on Fox|Fox]] in 2015, and [[MLB on TBS|TBS]] in 2016). This is in contrast to the [[National Basketball Association|NBA's]] Toronto Raptors (via TSN and Sportsnet), as well as the [[National Hockey League|NHL]] and [[Major League Soccer|MLS]]'s Canadian-based teams (via [[Hockey Night in Canada]] on CBC and Sportsnet, and TSN respectively) who were allowed to produce their own broadcasts during postseason games. Buck Martinez has served as a colour commentator for post-season coverage ultimately simulcast by Sportsnet, however, having formerly worked Division Series games for TBS and on the [[MLB International]] broadcast of the [[2016 World Series]].<ref name="metro-4mill">{{cite web|title=Sportsnet touts four million viewers for Jays vs. Orioles matchup|url=http://www.metronews.ca/sports/2016/10/05/sportsnet-touts-four-million-viewers-for-jays-vs-orioles-matchup.html|work=Metro|access-date=October 11, 2016|archive-date=October 10, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010025503/http://www.metronews.ca/sports/2016/10/05/sportsnet-touts-four-million-viewers-for-jays-vs-orioles-matchup.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2022, however, MLB allowed Sportsnet to carry its own production of Blue Jays postseason games as it is technically a national broadcaster.<ref name="dh-jays-playoffs-broadcasters">{{cite web|url=https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/buck-martinez-blue-jays-playoff-games-sportsnet|title=Buck Martinez to lead Sportsnet's Blue Jays' playoff broadcasts|first=Adam|last=Laskaris|work=[[Daily Hive]]|date=October 3, 2022|access-date=October 4, 2022}}</ref>

===No-hitters===
Only one Blue Jays pitcher has thrown a [[no-hitter]] in franchise history. It was accomplished by [[Dave Stieb]] on September 2, 1990, after losing three no-hit bids with two outs in the ninth inning.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/history/teams?team=TOR|title=Toronto Blue Jays Franchise History|publisher=ESPN|access-date=November 22, 2010}}</ref>

No [[Perfect game (baseball)|perfect games]], a special subcategory of no-hitter, has been thrown in Blue Jays history. The franchise came closest on August 4, 1989, when Stieb gave up a double to Yankees' batter [[Roberto Kelly]] with two outs in the ninth, who then scored by the next batter.<ref name="history 2">{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teams/toro.shtml|title=Toronto Blue Jays|work=Baseball Almanac|access-date=November 22, 2010}}</ref>
