=== "The Doc Deal" ===

One of the biggest trades in Blue Jays history (known as "The Doc Deal") was executed on December 16, 2009, when the Blue Jays traded Roy Halladay and US$6 million to the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] for [[Kyle Drabek]], [[Travis d'Arnaud]] and [[Michael Taylor (baseball, born 1985)|Michael Taylor]];<ref name="halladaytrade">{{cite web| url = http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20091216&content_id=7817972| title = Blue Jays complete Halladay trade| publisher = MLB Advanced Media, L.P.| date = December 16, 2009| access-date = March 11, 2010}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Taylor was then traded to the [[Oakland Athletics]] for [[Brett Wallace]]. Halladay signed a contract extension with the Phillies worth $60 million for 3 years, with an option for another year worth $20 million.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=302350| title = Report: Blue Jays agree to trade Halladay to Phillies| publisher = [[The Sports Network]]| date = December 15, 2009| access-date =March 11, 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100412124024/http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=302350| archive-date= April 12, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> The Phillies were scheduled to play in Toronto on June 25, 26 and 27, however due to the G20 summit meeting in Toronto, those games were held in Philadelphia. Halladay made his first start against his old team in spring training, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits.

=== Free agency ===

[[File:P1030157 Álex González.jpg|thumb|right|Álex González signed with the Blue Jays on November 26, and took over for Marco Scutaro. González was later traded to the Atlanta Braves for [[Yunel Escobar]] and [[Jo-Jo Reyes]].]]

Line 110:

Blue Jays minor league free agents signed by other teams include [[Fabio Castro]] (Boston), [[Bill Murphy (baseball)|Bill Murphy]] ([[Chiba Lotte Marines]] in Japan), and [[Bryan Bullington]] and [[Buck Coats]] (both signed by the [[Kansas City Royals]]).

=== Waivers ===

The Blue Jays made some moves with potential on the waiverwire. Alex Anthopolous made his first transaction ever when he picked up reliever [[Sean Henn]] from the Orioles in late October 2009. He acquired [[Jarrett Hoffpauir]] on November 3. Once free agency started to kick in, he claimed shortstop Mike McCoy from Colorado, and never made a transaction for the rest of 2009. Anthopolous made his first waiver claim of 2010 on January 7, when he claimed [[Brian Bocock]] from the San Francisco Giants. Bocock was waived and picked up by the Phillies on January 26. The Blue Jays' only waiver loss during the 2009–2010 offseason was utility player [[Joe Inglett]], who was claimed by the Texas Rangers.

=== Salary arbitration ===

On January 15, 2010, six Blue Jay pitchers filed for salary arbitration.<ref name="arbitration">

Former catcher and manager [[Buck Martinez]] now serves as lead commentator for Sportsnet's broadcasts, replacing [[Jamie Campbell (sportscaster)|Jamie Campbell]]. Rogers Sportsnet will serve as the exclusive broadcaster for all Blue Jays games in the 2010 season, exchanging its rights to air ESPN's [[Sunday Night Baseball]] with [[The Sports Network|TSN]] in order to acquire the rights to the Blue Jays games previously aired by TSN. Sunday Night Baseball would air on [[TSN2]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20100513&content_id=10022884&vkey=pr_tor&fext=.jsp&c_id=tor |title=Blue Jays Now Exclusively On Sportsnet |access-date=May 17, 2010 |archive-url=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 |archive-date=May 18, 2010 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

25 regular season games were moved to the newly launched [[Sportsnet One|Rogers Sportsnet One]] beginning in August 2010, which launched exclusively on [[Rogers Cable]] systems on August 14, 2010,<ref>{{cite web|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-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100823073324/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/pelley-will-need-all-his-smarts-to-fix-sportsnet-one-fiasco/article1679219/| archive-date= August 23, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> a move which sparked criticism from viewers, fans, and critics. Of particular concern is the timing of the move considering the lack of the channel's availability across Canada, and the perceived strong-arming of Blue Jays fans and the other regional cable companies by Rogers, which owns the team, their stadium, the Sportsnet channels, and Rogers Cable, the only cable provider who carried the network upon its launch. Some fans cancelled Blue Jays ticket purchases in protest,<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/mlb/bluejays/article/856329--zelkovich-jays-start-taking-heat-over-sportsnet-one Zelkovich: Jays start taking heat over Sportsnet One], Toronto Star, September 2, 2010.

The [[CJCL|FAN 590]] was the Jays flagship radio station with [[Jerry Howarth]] and [[Alan Ashby]] calling the games, and Mike Wilner was the third man in the booth at times, and the post-game host. The games were simulcast on other radio stations across the country.

[[File:JaysRetired12.png|thumb|right|Roberto Alomar's name as displayed in the Level of Excellence.]]

In the offseason, retired second baseman [[Roberto Alomar]] finished eight votes shy of being inducted into the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|Baseball Hall of Fame]] on his first ballot. Alomar announced earlier that if he did get inducted into the Hall of Fame, he would like to be inducted as a Blue Jay,{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} becoming the first ever. Former [[Montreal Expos]] outfielder [[Andre Dawson]] was inducted into the Hall of Fame, and he was inducted as an Expo; the second Expo to be inducted into Cooperstown behind [[Gary Carter]].

Line 713:

The Jays split their next two games before another game got canceled due to rain. Toronto lost to Houston 2–0, and beat Atlanta 7–6. The Jays were going to play the Red Sox for the first time in spring training, but rain in Dunedin forced the game to be canceled. From there, the Blue Jays fell into a spring training freefall, losing five in a row. The Jays lost as a split squad twice on March 26, including a disappointing loss to the Boston Red Sox. The Jays took a 2–0 lead into the 9th when Zach Jackson came in to close the game out. The Sox rallied for 3 runs, and walked off. The Jays' other loss was a 14–10 loss to the Rays. The slump caused the Jays to fall below .500, and they could not rebound. The Jays beat Pittsburgh 11–2 to snap the five-game slide. The next day, The Jays blew a 2–0 lead late against the Tigers to earn their first tie of two in spring training. But on March 31, by far the most interesting match up in spring came against the Phillies. Sandwiched between 2 losses to the Yankees was a start by Roy Halladay. "Doc" struggled, as he gave up 4 earned runs on five hits in 3 innings. All 4 runs were surrendered in the first inning. Four hits were extra base hits, including a 2-run shot by Aaron Hill. The Jays then entered Houston to finish up spring training. In Buck Martinez's play-by-play debut, Aaron Hill hit a two-run shot in the first inning to help jumpstart the Jays. The Jays failed to hold on to a 3–0 lead and surrendered a game-tying run in the 9th inning to tie the game at 3. The Jays rebounded by hitting the Astros hard and early. Aaron Hill hit his second straight first inning shot to jumpstart the Jays again, and Edwin Encarnación ended a disappointing spring with a 3-run home run. The Jays ended up winning 13–6. Their final spring training record was 12–13–2. Alex Anthopolous called it "a great spring" in an in-game interview with Rod Black and Pat Tabler.

==== April ====

[[File:Adamlind.JPG|thumb|right|[[Adam Lind]] signed a four-year contract extension through 2013 with three club options that could go through 2016.]]

On March 22, [[Shaun Marcum]] was named the opening-day starter for the Toronto Blue Jays. This was Marcum's first opening day start of his career. Brian Tallet was later named the Day 2 starter, ahead of Ricky Romero. Tallet is the probable home opener starter. On April 3, [[Adam Lind]] signed a long-term contract with the Jays that could keep him with the club until 2016. Lind signed a four-year deal that will keep him in Toronto until at least 2013, with three club option years that could keep him in Toronto until the end of the 2016 season.<ref>{{cite web

But Toronto continued their homestand as they started a three-game set against the Angels. Toronto lost back-to-back games to LA to start the series. Their record dropped to 7–5.

===== Opening Day =====

[[File:VERNON WELLS.jpg|thumb|left|[[Vernon Wells]] hit the Jays first home run of 2010.]]

'''Venue:''' [[Rangers Ballpark in Arlington]] '''Attendance:''' 50,299

Line 769:

On April 5, the Blue Jays opened the 2010 season in Arlington, Texas against the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]]. A first-inning [[Vernon Wells]] home run spotted starter [[Shaun Marcum]] – making his first start since September 16, 2008 – to a 2–0 lead. [[Adam Lind]] pushed the lead to 3–0 with a solo home run in the third. Marcum took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, but after a [[Josh Hamilton]] walk, [[Vladimir Guerrero]] broke the no-hitter with a single. The next batter, [[Nelson Cruz]], hit an opposite-field three-run home run to tie the game. In the eighth, Wells hit a bases-loaded single to left-center to give the Jays a 4–3 lead. The Jays took the lead into the ninth inning, but closer [[Jason Frasor]] failed to convert the save opportunity. Michael Young led the inning off with a double, followed by a Guerrero infield single with one out and a game-tying RBI double from Nelson Cruz. Chris Davis was given an intentional walk to load the bases for [[Jarrod Saltalamacchia]]. Saltalamacchia hit a gapper to right-center that allowed pinch runner David Murphy to score the winning run.

===== Starting lineup =====

[[File:AARON HILL.jpg|thumb|right|[[Aaron Hill (baseball)|Aaron Hill]] started at second base for the 5th straight season.]]

Only five Blue Jays from 2009 were starting at the same position in 2010, and only three are in the same batting position in 2009. The most notable change is Shawn Marcum taking the mound as Opening Day starting pitcher instead of Roy Halladay. The last time Halladay did not start on Opening Day was in 2002 when [[Chris Carpenter]] started.

==== June ====

The Blue Jays' last interleague series was to be a home set against the [[Philadelphia Phillies]]. However, on May 12, the Blue Jays announced the series would be moved to Philadelphia's [[Citizens Bank Park]] due to logistical and security concerns brought about by the [[2010 G-20 Toronto summit|G20 Summit]]. Rogers Centre is next door to the [[Metro Toronto Convention Centre]], where the summit took place. Fans would have faced numerous problems with parking and access, along with a number of unknown obstacles. Nonetheless, the Blue Jays were the home team for that series.<ref name=thestar1>{{cite news| author=Mark Zwolinski| url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/article/807716--g20-summit-scuppers-halladay-s-first-trip-to-toronto-as-a-phillie |title=G20 summit scuppers Halladay's first trip to Toronto as a Philly| work=Toronto Star| publisher=thestar.com| date=May 11, 2010 |access-date=March 27, 2012| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100514101920/http://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/article/807716--g20-summit-scuppers-halladay-s-first-trip-to-toronto-as-a-phillie| archive-date= May 14, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref><ref name=nytimes1>{{cite news|agency=[[Associated Press]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/12/sports/baseball/12bats.html?scp=1&sq=toronto&st=cse |title=Halladay's Return To Toronto Is Rerouted to Philadelphia |publisher=NYTimes.com |work=[[The New York Times]] |date= May 11, 2010 |access-date=May 20, 2010}}</ref><ref name=theglobeandmail2>{{cite news|author=Canada |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/jays---phillies-series-moving-to-philadelphia/article1564925/ |title=Jays-Phillies series moving to Philadelphia |publisher=The Globe and Mail |date=May 11, 2010 |access-date=May 20, 2010 |location=Toronto |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100514124128/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/jays---phillies-series-moving-to-philadelphia/article1564925/ |archive-date=May 14, 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==== July ====

Line 857:

On July 30 José Bautista hit a grand slam home run against the Cleveland Indians at Rogers Centre.

==== August ====

* On August 7, the Blue Jays played the [[Tampa Bay Rays]]. This was catching prospect [[J. P. Arencibia]]'s first major league game. He was called up from Triple-A [[Las Vegas 51s|Las Vegas]] after [[John Buck (baseball)|John Buck]] suffered a lacerated finger caused by a foul ball. On the first pitch he saw, Arencibia hit a two-run home run off of Rays pitcher [[James Shields (baseball)|James Shields]]. He also hit a single, a double, and another home run later in the game, finishing only a triple shy of the [[hitting for the cycle|cycle]]. Arencibia became the 28th player in history to hit a home run on his first pitch, the fifth player in history to hit two home runs in his first game, and the first player in the modern era to have four hits and two home runs in his first game. He is also the only Blue Jay to ever have four hits in his major league debut.

* On August 8, the Blue Jays again played the Tampa Bay Rays. [[Brandon Morrow]] took a no-hitter into the ninth inning and, with two out in the ninth, a softly hit ground ball by [[Evan Longoria]] bounced off of a diving [[Aaron Hill (baseball)|Aaron Hill]]'s glove and into the outfield. This was scored a hit. Though he did not throw a no-hitter, Morrow struck out 17 batters in the game, the second most in Blue Jays history ([[Roger Clemens]] – 18). Morrow also became the only Blue Jays pitcher other than Clemens to strikeout 15 or more batters in a game.

* On August 23, the Blue Jays played the [[New York Yankees]]. [[José Bautista]] hit is 39th and 40th home run of the game to become the first Blue Jay since 2003 to hit 40 home runs in a season. In the same game, Brandon Morrow struck out another 12 batters in under 7 innings of work to raise is K/9 average to 11.0, putting him on pace to have the highest single season k/9 average in Blue Jays history.

* On August 31, the Blue Jays played the Tampa Bay Rays. José Bautista hit his 43rd home run of the season. This pushed him over the 100 RBI mark. This is the first time since 2003 that a Blue Jay player has gotten to 100 plus RBI before September (Vernon Wells and Carlos Delgado).

==== September ====

[[File:KSHO 20100929 19-29-41 (5049386108).jpg|thumb|right|On the last home game of the season, a ceremony was held for manager [[Cito Gaston]], who would retire at the end of the season.]]

* On September 15, José Bautista hit his 47th home run of the season against [[Brad Bergesen]] of the [[Baltimore Orioles]]. This tied him with [[George Bell (outfielder)|George Bell]] for the franchise record in home runs in a single season.

* On September 17, José Bautista hit his 48th home run of the season against [[Michael Bowden (baseball)|Michael Bowden]] of the [[Boston Red Sox]]. This made him the single-season home runs record holder for the Blue Jays.

* On September 29, Travis Snider hit the Blue Jays' 245th home run of the season against [[Javier Vázquez (baseball)|Javier Vázquez]] of the [[New York Yankees]], breaking the franchise record for home runs in a season, set in 2000.
