Former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman doesn’t mince words when it comes to clapping back at ex-teammates.
The current New York Mets player took to Twitter to tear into ex-Blue Jays teammate Randal Grichuk after Grichuk supported an accusation made by Aubrey Huff that Stroman once treated minor league players poorly.
According to Huff, during 2019 spring training, Stroman asked the Jays’ strength coach to kick out 30 minor league players from the weight room in order to have it to himself to jump rope.
Grichuk liked Huff’s tweet, adding that was a known story “around players in the Jays team/system.”
You’ve done nothing but talk about me behind my back. Consistently. I’ve always kept my mouth shut and let it slide. Ask YOUR teammates and Canada who they rather have on their team…you or me. I already know the answer. Continue to under achieve and talk shit about teammates!

Stroman then went on the attack, stating that Grichuk has “done nothing but talk about me behind my back” consistently.
“I’ve always kept my mouth shut and let it slide,” said Stroman. “Ask YOUR teammates and Canada who they rather have on their team … you or me. I already know the answer. Continue to under achieve and talk s— about teammates!”
Grichuk is no stranger when it comes to Twitter beefs with fellow MLB players. He and Stroman continued to trade barbs.
“Haha keep thinking that’s true,” he said. “Don’t be mad at me because I liked a tweet that was the truth. Have a good day my man.”

Stroman managed to get the last word.
“My day is beyond great. Good luck playing for a nation that now knows your true colours. Have a splendid day my G!” said Stroman.
Stroman played for the Blue Jays for five seasons before being traded to the Mets in 2019. As a Jay, Stroman posted a 3.76 ERA.
Grichuk joined the Blue Jays in 2018 as an outfielder. He signed a five-year contract extension with the team last April.
