MLB qualifying offer Brandon Belt accept

Wednesday the one-year, $18.4 million contract. The qualifying offer is set at the average of the top 125 salaries in baseball, and players who accept it return to their team on that one-year deal, and players who reject it are tied to draft pick compensation. Kenny Willekes Jersey . Only six free agents received it last offseason, and the 14 are the most since a record 20 free agents received the qualifying offer in 2015-16. 1B , OF , OF , SS , 1B , RHP , LHP , LHP , SS , IF , Blue JaysSS , RHP , MetsUT , DodgersRHP , AstrosFree agents who were traded at midseason (like , , and ) are not eligible to receive the qualifying offer, ditto for the free agents who have received a qualifying offer previously (like and ). If you're curious why a big name free agent didn't receive the qualifying offer, he probably falls into one of those two buckets. As noted, the deadline to accept or reject the qualifying offer was Wednesday, Nov. 17. Here are the qualifying offer decisions for this year's 14 free agents as announced by each team. SF 1B #9 BA0.274R65HR29RBI59SB3 Despite indications the two sides would attempt to work out a new multi-year contract, Belt accepted the qualifying offer and will remain with the Giants. There is no free agent compensation when a player accepts the qualifying offer, so San Francisco will neither receive nor forfeit a draft pick. Belt is back with the Giants on the one-year, $18.4 million contract, and the two sides could still work out a longer contract prior to Opening Day. . DET SP #57 ERA4.74WHIP1.39IP157.2BB47K185 Earlier this week . He functionally declined the qualifying offer, so the Red Sox will receive a draft pick after the first round as compensation, and the will forfeit their third highest draft pick because they received revenue sharing money in 2021. Rodriguez, 28, will not be eligible to receive the qualifying offer again the rest of his career. . PHI SP #43 ERA9WHIP1.5IP2BB0K2 Similar to Rodriguez, earlier this week. He effectively declined the qualifying offer and the Mets will receive a draft pick prior to the third round as compensation. The Angels, meanwhile, will forfeit their second highest draft pick plus $500,000 in international bonus money to sign Syndergaard. He will not be eligible to receive the qualifying offer the rest of his career. . PHI RF #8 BA0.309R95HR34RBI100SB3 Castellanos rejected the qualifying offer. He was always Tyler Conklin Jersey a lock to reject it. No chance Castellanos would opt out of $34 million only to turn around and take the $18.4 million qualifying offer. The Reds will receive a compensation draft pick before the third round if Castellanos signs a deal worth le s than $50 million with another team, and a compensation draft pick after the first round if he signs a contract worth $50 million or more. . NYM RF #30 BA0.232R52HR14RBI55SB1 Conforto has indeed declined the qualifying offer. He appeared to be a candidate to accept it given his down, injury Camryn Bynum Jersey -interrupted season, but some early offseason canvasing by agent Scott Boras presumably revealed enough interest in Conforto to turn down the qualifying offer. The Mets will receive a compensation draft pick before the third round if Conforto signs a deal worth le s than $50 million, and a compensation draft pick after the first round if he signs a contract worth at least $50 million. . MIN SS #4 BA0.279R104HR26RBI92SB0 No surprise here, as Correa is coming off po sibly the best season of his career. He's fresh off winning the AL platinum glove, awarded to the single best defensive player in each league. The two-time All-Star also had a pretty prolific offensive season as well, posting a 131 with 34 doubles and 26 homers. Entering his age-27 season as a stellar offensive and defensive player at a premium position, he's in for a monster payday. The Astros will receive a compensation draft pick after the first round when Correa inevitably signs a contract worth at least $50 million. As long as he signs with another team, that is. . LAD 1B #5 BA0.300R120HR31RBI83SB8 As expected, Freeman has rejected the qualifying offer. The 2020 NL MVP seems likely to re-sign with the Braves -- rejecting the qualifying offer does not mean he is ineligible to return to the Braves, it should be noted -- though if he signs with another team, Atlanta now knows they will receive a compensation draft pick after the first round when he inevitably signed a contract worth more than $50 million. . ATL RP #26 ERA2.57K/913.2WHIP.93S34BS5 Iglesias has indeed turned down the Angels' qualifying offer. Iglesias, who turns 32 in January, is coming off a 2021 season in which he posted a 2.57 ERA and a sparkling 8.58 K/BB ratio in 70 innings for the Angels. He also converted 34 of 39 save opportunities. For his career, Iglesias owns a strong of 142. The Angels will receive a compensation draft Dakota Dozier Jersey pick before the third round if Iglesias signs a deal worth le s than $50 million with another team, and a compensation draft pick after the first round if he signs a contract worth at least $50 million. . SEA SP #38 ERA2.84WHIP1.04IP193.1BB52K248 As expected, Ray has rejected the qualifying offer and will seek a lucrative long-term contract as a free agent. The Blue Jays will receive a compensation draft pick after the first round when Ray signs a contract worth more than $50 million, but only if he signs with another team. Returning to Toronto would result in no compensation. . TEX SS #5 BA0.306R54HR16RBI57SB1 As expected, Seager has declined the qualifying offer. Seager has a nine-figure contract coming his way this offseason even while attached to draft Harrison Hand Jersey pick compensation. Because the Dodgers paid luxury tax this season, they will only receive a compensation draft pick after the fourth round should Seager sign elsewhere, regardle s of contract size. . TEX 2B #2 BA0.265R115HR45RBI102SB15 Free agency the first time around was bad timing for Semien. His career year was in 2019 and then he had a rough 2020 during the pandemic-shortened season. It forced him to take a one-year deal and move positions. His response was to play like it was 2019 all over again in 2021, surely setting himself up for a big, long-term contract this time around. As such, it's no surprise at all that he declined the qualifying offer. The Blue Jays will receive a compensation draft pick before the third round if Semien signs a deal worth le s than $50 million with another team, and a compensation draft pick after the first round if he signs a contract worth at least $50 million. . BOS SS #10 BA0.251R88HR24RBI75SB20 Story not surprisingly turned down the Rockies' qualifying offer and hits the market as part of a deep shortstop cla s. His underlying indicators at the plate rem
