The 2023 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's 47th season in Major League Baseball, and 32nd full season (34th overall) at Rogers Centre. They started the season on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals on March 30, and finished the season at home against the Tampa Bay Rays on October 1.

Contents

The schedule was revised de-emphasizing divisional play by shifting over twenty games to interleague play. Toronto played each divisional opponent in four series, two home and two away, down from six. Those eight series were added to the interleague schedule where the Blue Jays played each National League team once except for the Philadelphia Phillies, which they played both home and away.

With their victory over the Colorado Rockies on September 1, the Blue Jays became the first team in MLB history to beat every opposing team at least once in a single season.

The Blue Jays clinched a playoff spot in the 2023 postseason on September 30, when the visiting Texas Rangers defeated the Seattle Mariners. The Blue Jays returned to the postseason for the second consecutive season and the third in four years, missing the 2021 postseason by one game. They lost in two games in the American League Wild Card Series to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

Previous season

The 2022 Blue Jays finished 2nd in the AL East, to the New York Yankees, with a record of 92–70 (.556). They qualified for the postseason, but lost in two games in the Wild Card Series to the Seattle Mariners.

Below are lists of Rule 5 draft results since 1997. Players selected in the Major League Baseball (MLB) phase of the Rule 5 draft must be kept on their new team's active roster for the entire following MLB season, or they are placed on waivers and offered back to their original team if not claimed. Players chosen in the Minor League Baseball phase(s) of the Rule 5 draft remain with their new organization without restrictions.

The 2008 Seattle Mariners season was the 32nd Major League Baseball season in the team's history. Coming off the heels of the previous 2007 season, in which the M's finished with their first winning record since 2003, the team was widely expected to once again compete for the American League West championship. The team was bolstered by some major roster additions during the previous offseason, most notably starting pitchers Érik Bédard and Carlos Silva. However, by the end of May, it became apparent that the team had gone back to its losing ways of the 2004–06 seasons. Despite their losing ways, they won their first and last game of the season. Their longest winning-streak of the season is 4 games after a Cleveland sweep at the end of August and a 12-6 win against the Texas Rangers on the first day of September. However, standing at 57–87, their longest losing-streak of the season is 12 games, 11 on the road, 1 at home, after being swept by the L.A. Angels, Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics, and suffering a loss at the last homestand opener against the L.A. Angels. On September 23, the Mariners became the first club to spend $100 million in payroll and lose 100 games. The team finished the season with a 61–101 (.377) record, last in the West for the 4th time in 5 years, and second worst in the majors.
