If you’ve been following baseball for the last little while you’ll know the Toronto Blue Jays completed their arbitration case with young star Marcus Stroman. The arbiter ruled in Toronto’s favor, awarding Stroman a $6.5 million contract for 2018 when he filed at $6.9 million. Not nice for Stroman.
Stroman, who finished eighth in last year’s Cy Young Award voting, didn’t take the loss well. After deciding to attend the hearing in person, rather than simply send his agent alone, Stroman was subjected to the case against him, and seemed to disagree with the case’s particulars.
