Franchise History

Baseball In Canada - The Toronto Blue Jays joined the American League in 1977. The Blue Jays have fared better than both their expansion-mates, the Seattle Mariners, and the only other Major League Baseball team to be based on foreign soil, the former Montreal Expos. The Blue Jays have won the World Series twice and have won five division titles.

Best Trade in Team History - In 1990 the Blue Jays traded Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez to the San Diego Padres for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar. Carter and Alomar would become central figures in the Blue Jays World Championship teams in 1992 and 1993, the latter of which was won on Joe Carter's walkoff homerun.

Worst Trade in Team History - After the 1999 season, the Blue Jays sent Shawn Green to the Los Angeles Dodgers along with Jorge Nunez for Pedro Borbon and Raul Mondesi. Shawn Green would follow the trade with three excellent seasons, while Borbon and Mondesi did little for the Blue Jays.
