Last year the New York "more money then god" Yankee's renewed Betances at league min. Jacob deGrom had his contract renewed by the Mets. Year in, year out lot's of ballplayers have their contracts renewed at a price they did not negotiate. The reason why your hearing about it now... because Scott Boras wants to complain about it.
Seriously if you think this is solely a Blue Jay thing then you're drinking more Boras Kool-Aid then is healthy.

The Mets gave Degrom a raise when they renewed his contract despite him rejecting their original offer on principle.
And guess what, the Yankees pay top dollar, so they need not worry about getting a player to take a bit less to resign with them. The Jays aren't in that boat. They need players to take a little cut sometimes to stay, and they sure as hell aren't going to do that when games are played with them like this.
