The Toronto Blue Jays had four players they had to negotiate with ahead of Thursday's (Dec. 8) deadline. That was the final date in which teams could offer a contract to arbitration eligible players. The players could accept the contract, which three Blue Jays' did, or go to an arbitration hearing before the beginning of Spring Training.
Daulton Varsho ($10.75) Ernie Clement ($4.6) and Tyler Heineman ($1.2) all settled on deals that came in above their projected salary figures. The lone hold out is Eric Lauer, a guy who may have saved the Blue Jays entire 2025 season.
