The 1982 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's sixth season of Major League Baseball. Although the Blue Jays once again finished last in the seven team American League East (due to losing a tie-breaker to Cleveland) their record of 78 wins and 84 losses was by far the best in team history to date. Toronto finished 17 games behind the American League Champion Milwaukee Brewers. Bobby Cox became the third field manager in team history.
Dave Stieb established himself as one of the top pitchers in the American League, as he led the AL with 19 complete games and 5 shutouts.
