The Toronto Blue Jays and third baseman Josh Donaldson appear headed to salary arbitration for a second straight season.
The Blue Jays announced Friday they had come to terms with six of their eight arbitration-eligible players, but Donaldson was not on the list.
The American League MVP lost his case last year and made US$4.3 million while leading the Blue Jays to their first playoff appearance since 1993. He will almost certainly command a much higher salary for 2016.
The Blue Jays did avoid arbitration with recently acquired right-handed reliever Drew Storen, signing him to a one-year deal worth $8.375 million.
Toronto also signed one-year deals with left-handed pitcher Brett Cecil ($3.8 million US), outfielder Michael Saunders ($2.9 million US), right-hander Drew Hutchison ($2.2 million US), left-hander Aaron Loup ($1.05 million US) and right-hander Steve Delabar ($835,000 US).
Right-hander Jesse Chavez is the other player who hasn't agreed to terms with the Jays.
