The 1998 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's twenty-second season of Major League Baseball. It resulted in the Blue Jays finishing third in the American League East with a record of 88 wins and 74 losses, which was their best record from their 1993 World Series-winning season until 2015. With the disappointing last-place finish of the previous year, General Manager Gord Ash once again dug into the wallet to improve the team, signing reliever Randy Myers and slugger José Canseco as free agents. Though the team improved noticeably (thanks to another pitching Triple Crown and Cy Young Award-winning campaign by ace hurler Roger Clemens and a powerful lineup that featured Canseco, Carlos Delgado, Shawn Green, and José Cruz, Jr.), they could not finish ahead of the New York Yankees or the Boston Red Sox, who won 114 and 92 games en route to winning the division crown and Wild Card respectively. ==Offseason== *October 29, 1997: Dane Johnson was selected off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays from the Oakland Athletics.〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/j/johnsda05.shtml〕 *November 18, 1997: Omar Daal was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks from the Toronto Blue Jays as the 31st pick in the 1997 expansion draft.〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/d/daalom01.shtml〕 * November 26, 1997: Randy Myers signed as a Free Agent with the Toronto Blue Jays.〔(Randy Myers Statistics - Baseball-Reference.com )〕 *November 27, 1997: Craig Grebeck was signed as a Free Agent with the Toronto Blue Jays.〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/g/grebecr01.shtml〕 * December 6, 1997: Juan Samuel was signed as a Free Agent with the Toronto Blue Jays.〔(Juan Samuel Statistics - Baseball-Reference.com )〕 *December 8, 1997: Tony Fernandez was signed as a Free Agent with the Toronto Blue Jays.〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/f/fernato01.shtml〕 *January 5, 1998: Jacob Brumfield was signed as a Free Agent with the Toronto Blue Jays.〔(Jacob Brumfield Statistics - Baseball-Reference.com )〕 * February 4, 1998: José Canseco signed as a Free Agent with the Toronto Blue Jays. *March 24, 1998: Jacob Brumfield was released by the Toronto Blue Jays.〔 *March 14, 1998: Tim Crabtree was traded by the Toronto Blue Jays to the Texas Rangers for Kevin Brown.〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/crabtti01.shtml〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1998 Toronto Blue Jays season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
