Re: Toronto Blue Jays
From the article
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported in January that the team filed at $6.5 million, while Stroman was aiming to make $6.9 million.
They went to arbitration over $400k
Later in the article:
He [Stroman] retweeted a post on Thursday stating the Blue Jays have taken him to arbitration twice over the past two years for a total of $700,000. He is arbitration eligible in each of the next two seasons and is scheduled to become a free agent in 2021.
We all get that baseball is a business but I think it's bad business to piss off a premium asset twice over $700k. Especially an asset that is as valuable and (appears to me to be) passionate/hot-headed as Marcus Stroman. Stroman seems like exactly the type of guy to take this personally and use it as a reason to demand a trade or not re-sign with the team. Seems short sighted to me. Could neither side offer to split the $200k and call it a day?
