One arbitration case down, one to go.
The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly lost their arbitration hearing with starter Jesse Chavez, who will earn $4 million in 2016 instead of the $3.6 million number that the organization had filed in January.

Toronto’s only remaining case is that of Josh Donaldson, another situation where the player and organization filed very close numbers. Reports over the past two days indicate that the Blue Jays are interested in negotiating a multi-year deal with Donaldson before their hearing, which is reportedly set for February 15th.
