Stripling agreed to a one-year, $3.79 million contract with the Blue Jays on Monday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stripling will set his sights on earning a spot in Toronto's starting rotation after getting his new deal sorted out. He's coming off a 2021 campaign in which 19 of his 24 appearances were starts, though he'll have some competition near the back end of the rotation with Yusei Kikuchi and Nate Pearson.
