I didn't know DeGrom and Syndergaard were black. I must have missed that.

The gist I get is that the official made a lazy and condescending remark about Stroman not being a veteran compared with Thor and DeGrom, even though the latter two are both younger and/or less experienced than Stroman. Law saw it as racist, which Stroman seems to believe is the case based off of his reply.

I liked Stroman until he endorsed Keith Law. You just don't do that.

 

You're just behind the curve in realizing what he is. But we still accept you with open arms.

Wow, look at all the slobbering retards demanding that the guy who said that to be fired.

 

Everything is about race! Holy f***, what an embarrassment. Stroman taking on the mantle of minority victim is f***ing laughable.

LOL. Plus, from what we've heard out Stroman, Atkins, and now this I don't even think its that hard to translate.

 

"Stroman thinks he is the second coming of Pedro Martinez. He has been traded to the Mets to be there 3 or 4 starter. If that isn't a reality check for him nothing will be."

He is always alone on his instagram story ... no friends whatsoever ... I unfollowed him a while back he was getting on my nerves ... Always showing what he is wearing like he is a runway model lol

I went and checked Stroman’s twitter and he retweeted a couple of those Keith Law tweets.

 

What a f***ing baby. Get off the social media dude and find an actual hobby that doesn’t show everyone how f***ing dumb you are.

Accusing the FO of your former team of being a bunch of racists. Boy, can't remember another player going out with such grace.

 

I hope Stroman plays for s***** teams his entire life and ends up having his career derailed by injuries. He crossed the shitline.

Does it really surprise you that he'd been like that though?

Sanchez was just on the radio

 

No wonder he stopped hanging out with dbag stroman

 

Yeah Sanchez acting like a total pro..total opposite of the Diva Stroman. Who knew Sanchez would be the sensible one.

Come on guys, that was a pretty f***ing ridiculous comment. He's been in the league as long as Degrom and longer than Thor. With that in mind, what is one supposed to deduce from the Blue Jays officials comment? It was an idiotic quip and quite frankly I can't blame anyone for believing that there's racist overtones in it.

Stroman has been criticizing the FO publicly since like 2017. It's pretty easy to see how a senior member of of the Jays FO would be sick of his s***. For acting like a petulant child, not for being black. Syndergaard and DeGrom pitch for the f***ing Wilpons, and as far as I'm aware they've both conducted themselves nothing but professionally.

I dunno man, it's a retarded statement that the official made. What's it supposed to imply that Thor and Degrom will have him "fit right in like he's supposed to"? Is he suggesting that Stroman should feel intimidated by these 2?

 

It's just a petty thing to say about a player who has been the face of the franchise for so many years as he's on his way out. Whether there was any racist overtones or not, it's simply not a good look.

As low of an opinion as I have on Stroman, no, I didn't think he'd stoop to playing the race card.

When in doubt, just assume racism!

 

What a healthy policy on life you have

But that's not what the poster you quoted is doing. He's just saying he doesn't blame them.

 

I'm not assuming racism myself, both Marcus and Keith just seem to have bad blood with the Blue Jays' FO in general. But the quote was definitely an attack on Stro's personality and it's not too far-fetched to think that racism *could* have played a role. Quote seemed toxic as f***.

 

People on the internet can say whatever they think about Marcus of course, it's very much okay not to like him. But you expect some professionalism from people in the FO, that's just part of the job.

Meaning he's not the ace he thinks he is. He's a 3-4 starter on an average team, a 4-5 on a good one. The fact race has been brought into this is pathetic. If he was white and acting like an annoying bitch we'd all be saying the same thing. If anyone looks up to this clown in the locker room, God help them. He's not someone to look up to. He's the kind of guy you just agree with wtfever he's saying so he shuts up and leaves you alone, but it's happened for so long that he's fully bought into his own ********. DeGrom is a leader.

 

Don't act like a child and be a professional and no one will bother you. Post all over social media about how great you think you are and how the world is somehow conspiring against you because you're black and no one is gonna like you.

 

Who remembers his effing rap video? Guy should be embarrassed. I don't think I've ever hated anyone on my own team as much as this guy, soooo glad he's gone and I hope he gets drilled with fastball after fastball every time he hits.

Stroman is easily a #2 or #3 starter on a good team, just not an ace. Let's not be silly here. I agree with the race stuff. This had absolutely nothing to do with race, and should never have been brought into the argument.

 

All I think the original statement was saying is they're under the impression that Stroman thinks the world revolves around him, and going to New York he was going to find there were other guys people a lot higher in the pecking order. He was going to learn his place as a player, not as anything else.

 

That said, hating on Stroman is just stupid. He was a good player for us, who loved the team, the city, the fans, and apparently wanted to stay through the rebuild. It would have been nice to see him be a little more professional, but that's about it. No one should be wishing him anything but the best.

You're making a lot of assumptions on what Stroman is stating. It feels a lot more like a petulant child acting out and agreeing with any negative comment whether it has merit or not against the guys who let him go. There's been no direct quote of Stroman accusing anyone of racism. I'd be shocked if reporter haven't tried to bating him into such a comment. Nothing has come out. The guy has venom for a front office he can't stand. That's it. Keith Law is the bigger idiot for for making this into something it's not, and the guy who made the original comment is in idiot for making such an ambiguous statement.
