Toronto Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman had a lot to say Friday, one day after he took to Twitter to express frustration over his arbitration hearing with the team.

“It’s an extremely tough process and I went through it last year. I went through it again this year; it’s not a process that’s enjoyable at all. I was frustrated,” Stroman told reporters.

“I tweeted pretty much that happens during the arbitration case, which is when the other side doesn’t say very nice things about you and they bring up your entire career. So it’s tough. It’s tough to sit in a room like that for five hours and listen to all the things that date back to the time I was in the big leagues.”

While Stroman says the process was a frustrating one, he has no hard feelings with general manager Ross Atkins or the organization.

“I was frustrated. I don’t think I’m wrong for being frustrated. I may have been wrong for taking it to Twitter, but those are my true emotions and how I felt,” he said. “Like I said, my relationship between the team and I hasn’t changed at all. I talked to Ross this morning. It’s still extremely strong. It will not change my idea at all of signing a multi-year or anything going forward.”

Stroman added that neither side has discussed an extension but he hopes that will happen soon.

Stroman broke the news Thursday that he lost his arbitration case and will be paid $6.5 million in 2018 instead of the $6.9 million he was seeking.

“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!” he tweeted.

The tweet was deleted hours later.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons dismissed it as a minor issue.

“What do I care? I didn’t say them. I couldn’t tell you exactly what he said, but that’s all behind us," Gibbons said. 

 “It’s just his personality. I’m sure they’ll be other times that he’ll lash out again, you know. But I don’t want to get all caught up in that, that’s not an important issue. They had their arbitration case, it’s over, he’ll move on." 

Stroman indicated Friday that the team has not asked him to tone things down on Twitter.

“I think they love how I am on the mound and how I perform. I think everything goes in together. You can’t ask me to be one way on the mound and a completely different when I’m off the field. And they’re aware of that,” he said.

Last season, Stroman went 13-9 with an ERA of 3.09 in 201.0 innings.

The Blue Jays will open their season on March 29 against the New York Yankees.
