So, Marcus Stroman is pushing for a long-term deal...
Marcus Stroman wants new deal from Blue Jays, says, 'I've been offered nothing'
Article says he is frustrated at the situation. I was wondering if he was going to be someone available at the trade deadline.
Stroman is not a FA until after the 2020 season. The Jays have 2 more years of control. He will be 28 in May and will therefore be 30 in May of his final year of team control. He has had 1 good year ('17), and IMO, doesn't warrant a long-term deal.
'14 (23): 20 GS, 3.65 ERA, 1.171 WHIP, 130.2 IP, 111 SO
'15 (24): 4 GS, 1.67 ERA, 0.963 WHIP, 27.0 IP, 18 SO
'16 (25): 32 GS, 4.37 ERA, 1.289 WHIP, 204.0 IP, 166 SO
'17 (26): 33 GS, 3.09 ERA, 1.308 WHIP, 201.0 IP, 164 SO
'18 (27): 19 GS, 5.54 ERA, 1.476 WHIP, 102.1 IP, 77 SO
After his 2018, it is hard to think he is the central SP of a rotation... but he could be.
From the article, I would read this offensively as someone from Toronto... don't the positive he thinks it is:
On the one hand, is praises the chemistry of the two, and then, IMO, offends Toronto by saying, people don't like Toronto and that they are just not naturally a good fit for people.
The point he is trying to make is how unique they are together, but he does it by saying it is THEM that are the problem.
I also think he is likely concerned by the nature of FA and lack of signing aging players. He probably has additional concern about the CBA timing.
Thoughts?
