Here are which players have avoided arbitration with the Blue Jays:
- Danny Jansen: 1 year, $5.2 million ($5.2 million projection)

- Erik Swanson: 1 year, $2.75 million ($2.7 million projection)
- Santiago Espinal: 1 year, $2.725 million ($2.5 million projection)
As of writing this article, the Blue Jays still haven’t settled arbitration cases with six players, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Daulton Varsho, Cavan Biggio, Trevor Richards, Alejandro Kirk and Nate Pearson.
The deadline for arbitration agreements passed at 1 pm ET on Thursday. Teams and players that didn’t reach settlements must exchange figures by 8 pm ET.
