Marcus Stroman took to Twitter on Thursday to express his displeasure with losing his arbitration case against the Toronto Blue Jays.  In a series of tweets, Stroman said, "The negative things that were said against me, by my own team, will never leave my mind" 

He later added, however, that he was "just being real" and is "not mad at all" at how the process played out.

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.

Stroman's posted the following messages on Thursday afternoon:

"Lost arbitration. Is what it is. Looking forward to going out and dealing again. The negative things that were said against me, by my own team, will never leave my mind. I’m thick-skinned so it will only fuel the fire. Can’t wait for this year! #HDMH"

"I kill myself daily for my family, friends, fans, and teammates. Work ethic beyond elite. More of the same going forward. Less communication with anyone trying to take away from that. I’m turning all the way up this year! #HDMH"

"Can’t wait to be back in Toronto this year. Dealing on my mound. For the entire country of Canada! @BlueJays #HDMH"

"Love me some adversity."

Roughly an hour after the first set of tweets were posted, Stroman added the following:

"Just being real. Not mad at all. I’m aware of the business. Just opens your eyes going through the arbitration process. Second time going through it. Still love my team and the entire country of Canada. More upset that I had to fly to AZ and miss my Monday workout. Lol"

"Looks like I came up a little short in arbitration. Lol #HDMH," Stroman added roughly 15 minutes later.

Stroman appeared in 33 games last season for the Jays and posted a 13-9 record with a 3.09 ERA and 164 strikeouts in 201 innings.  He was awarded with his first career Gold Glove award and finished eighth in Cy Young award voting.

He 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.

The 26-year-old holds a 37-25 overall mark with a 3.61 career ERA in four seasons all spent with the Jays, who selected him 22nd overall in the first round of the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft.
