Its crazy that they give away so much money to shitty depth players, then hold Stroman to the fire over $400k.

Some people just dont understand the baseball arbitration process. If the matter was as simple as the Jays givng Stroman 400K it would likely be done.
However, Marcus is under team control until 2020, and unless he signs an extension he will go to arbitration each year until he is a free agent ( like Donaldson), and the number the team and player file at are based on the previous years number. So that difference of 400K this year could be millions down the line.
It should be said that Stroman is the only guy i've heard of to attend his meeting and then tweet his frusteration about it. Grow up.
Did you see what Marcus Stroman posted on social media the other day? No, not the tweet about his arbitration hearing with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Instagram post where he outlined plans to mess with hitters’ timing more than ever in 2018.
“Zero fear,” Stroman wrote. “Shimmies, delivery hesitations and different arm slots.”
Shimmies and hesitations we’ve seen before. But different arm slots? That will be new even for Stroman. He has started throwing sidearm in early spring workouts, and expects the new delivery will help him keep hitters off-balance.
“Obviously I’m not going pure submariner,” said Stroman Wednesday morning, a few hours before a panel of arbitrators ruled in the team’s favour. “I would never do that. I’m a sinkerballer, I’m going to stick to my strengths.”
There will be times, though, that Stroman drops down. He already feels that he can throw a sidearm strike at any time. The early returns are encouraging for the 26-year-old. “It’s nasty,” he said.
Stroman is awesome and he's a really smart guy and isn't afraid to talk. Some people (mostly traditionalists that are white) don't like that.
He will be fine.
