Offseason
Coaching staff
On October 21, 2012, the Blue Jays officially announced that they had released their manager John Farrell from his contract in the same agreement that sent David Carpenter to the Red Sox in exchange for Mike Avilés.Blue Jays complete deal with Red Sox http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121021&content_id=39960334&vkey=pr_tor&c_id=tor October 21, 2012 June 14, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130614200239/http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121021&content_id=39960334&vkey=pr_tor&c_id=tor dead
On November 20, 2012, the Blue Jays announced that former manager John Gibbons would once again manage the Blue Jays, in 2013.
On November 26, 2012, the Blue Jays announced most of the coaching staff that will be working under John Gibbons. Five of its six coaching positions were filled. DeMarlo Hale (bench coach), Chad Mottola (hitting coach), Dwayne Murphy (first base coach) Luis Rivera (third base coach) and Pete Walker (pitching coach) were all signed on.Gibbons fills out coaching staff, minus 'pen coach http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121126&content_id=40416776&vkey=news_tor&c_id=tor https://web.archive.org/web/20121129133020/http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121126&content_id=40416776&vkey=news_tor&c_id=tor dead November 29, 2012 November 26, 2012 The following month, Pat Hentgen was hired as the bullpen coach.
Departing players
After the end of the 2012 season, the Blue Jays lost a number of players including Carlos Villanueva, Kelly Johnson, Jason Frasor and Brandon Lyon. They also declined the option for Rajai Davis, but instead gave him a $2.5 million one-year contract.
Player signings
The Blue Jays started their offseason by signing free agent Maicer Izturis to a three-year $9 million deal with an option year, on November 8. On November 16, they signed free agent Melky Cabrera to a two-year $16 million deal.
Trades
On the same day as the Izturis signing, the Blue Jays acquired RHP Jeremy Jeffress from the Kansas City Royals for cash considerations. They then completed a trade with the Cleveland Indians in which they acquired RHP Esmil Rogers in exchange for the newly acquired Mike Avilés and Yan Gomes.
On November 14, Toronto Blue Jays and Miami Marlins completed a blockbuster trade. Toronto acquired pitcher Josh Johnson, pitcher Mark Buehrle, shortstop José Reyes, utility man Emilio Bonifacio, and catcher John Buck. In return, Toronto sent pitcher Henderson Álvarez, pitching prospect Justin Nicolino, outfield prospect Jake Marisnick, infielder Yunel Escobar, infielder Adeiny Hechavarria, catcher Jeff Mathis and pitching prospect Anthony DeSclafani. Toronto also received $8+ million in cash from the Marlins. The mega-trade is described as a fire sale after the Marlins took on huge salaries a year prior, and dumped all of their high-salaried players. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-11-13/sports/sfl-marlins-trade-buehrle-johnson-reyes-20121113_1_logan-morrison-hanley-ramirez-josh-johnson dead https://web.archive.org/web/20121114104443/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-11-13/sports/sfl-marlins-trade-buehrle-johnson-reyes-20121113_1_logan-morrison-hanley-ramirez-josh-johnson 2012-11-14 Blockbuster Marlins trade sends Reyes, Buehrle and Johnson to Blue Jays - Sun Sentinel https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2012/11/14/miami-marlins-hold-a-fire-sale-toronto-blue-jays-clean-up/ Miami Marlins hold a fire sale, Toronto Blue Jays clean up - The Washington Post
