1. Carlos Delgado — 1,058
Carlos Delgado tops various statistical categories as a Blue Jay. With the most plate appearances, home runs, total bases, and doubles, it’s no surprise that Delgado has the most RBIs in franchise history.
The gap between Delgado and Vernon Wells is seismic. Delgado has three of the four highest single-season RBI totals, including his MLB-leading 145 RBIs in 2003.
On top of his longevity and near-MVP peak, Delgado also has the third-highest OPS+ in Jays’ history.
2. Vernon Wells — 813
Despite just a 108 OPS+ as a Blue Jay, Vernon Wells had three separate seasons with 100 or more RBIs. For his career, Wells had a marginally lower OPS in high-leverage situations compared to low-leverage at-bats, but that didn’t stop him from racking up 813 RBIs for Toronto.
Tony Fernandez and Carlos Delgado are the only players to have played more games for the Jays. Wells is fourth in offensive bWAR, and earned all three of his All-Star selections as a Jay.
3. José Bautista — 766
An All-Star in six straight seasons, José Bautista had one of the best peaks in franchise history. After bouncing around the big leagues early in his career, Bautista blossomed in Toronto, including two top-four MVP finishes.
Over that six-year span, Joey Bats had four seasons with 100 or more RBIs. He also led all of MLB in homers in 2010 and 2011, with his 54 bombs in 2010 setting a franchise record.
4. George Bell — 740
George Bell became the first Blue Jay to win MVP in 1987. His 134 RBIs were a franchise record at the time and followed his 108 RBIs in 1986. He had a third 100-RBI season in 1989, which was accompanied by a fourth-place MVP finish.

A two-time All-Star in Toronto, Bell had a great career with a 119 OPS+ as a Blue Jay. He would be even higher on this list if he re-signed with the Jays rather than leaving for the Cubs in free agency after the 1990 season.
5. Joe Carter — 736
In seven seasons with the Blue Jays, Joe Carter posted triple-digit RBIs on six occasions. Carter received MVP votes in each of his first four seasons in Toronto, and was an integral member of the World Series-winning teams in 1992 and 1993.
Possessing elite power, 203 of Carter’s 736 RBIs were batting himself in. He ultimately left the Jays to sign with the Orioles after the 1997 season, by which time he was well past his peak and into his late 30s.
