With Friday’s 1 p.m. deadline approaching, bnicholsonsmith takes a closer look at the BlueJays’ eligible players, the team’s recent history in arbitration and more.
By agreeing to terms with Bass last month, the Blue Jays got one case out of the way early.As a file-and-trial team, the Blue Jays don’t discuss one year agreements between the filing deadline and the hearing date, typically in February. In recent years that’s led to plenty of hearings – a significant shift in approach for a club that avoided arbitration with every last one of its players from 1998-2014.
Most memorably, Marcus Stroman won his 2017 hearing against the club only to lose his hearing the following year. After losing his 2018 case, Stroman offered a reminder that the arbitration process can become unnecessarily contentious, tweeting “The negative things that were said against me, by my own team, will never leave my mind.”
