DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Toronto pitcher Marcus Stroman met with Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins on Friday, a day after the 26-year old right-hander's salary arbitration loss triggered him to vent on Twitter.
Stroman received a raise from $3.4 million to $6.5 million instead of his $6.9 million request.
"The negative things that were said against me, by my own team, will never leave my mind," Stroman tweeted Thursday. "I'm thick-skinned so it will only fuel the fire. Can't wait for this year!"
A year earlier, he beat the Blue Jays in arbitration and received a raise from $515,900.
