The Jays may have posted the most Pyrrhic of salary victories when it was learned that they had won their case against Stroman. Now, with spring training underway, free-agent pitchers are quickly signing contracts, many of them club-friendly. “Lost arbitration,” Stroman tweeted. Stroman had been scheduled to meet with the media Thursday afternoon, but left Dunedin Stadium after finding out the Jays had won the arbitration decision. But if we have that challenge, it means we had five very healthy starters through the course of spring training.
