Tucker, Bichette, Schwarber Among 13 to Get $22 Million Qualifying Offers From Former Teams
Thirteen MLB free agents received $22.025 million qualifying offers, with only 14 of 144 such offers accepted since their 2012 inception, players have until Nov. 18 to decide.
- Thursday, Major League Baseball teams submitted $22,025,000 qualifying offers to 13 free agents, who have until Nov. 18 to accept or reject the one-year proposals.
- Draft-Pick rules tied to revenue-sharing and contract thresholds drive clubs to extend qualifying offers, which only players with continuous service since opening day and no prior offers can receive, enabling teams who lose free agent players to gain draft pick compensation.
- Thirteen players, including Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz, received qualifying offers, with only 14 of 144 offers accepted since 2012, highlighting their rarity.
- Most players are expected to reject the qualifying offer, though Trent Grisham, New York Yankees outfielder, Brandon Woodruff, Milwaukee right-hander, and Michael King, San Diego right-hander, present intriguing choices, with Woodruff potentially earning $32 million by accepting.
- Several notable free agents, including Pete Alonso and Cody Bellinger, were ineligible for qualifying offers, while Shota Imanaga rejected previous options and could delay free agency by accepting a qualifying offer.
