Mets cut ties with Frankie Mont\u00e1s in the last year of his US$34 million deal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\nWith their decision, these players are signed for the 2026<\/strong> season with their respective teams under the established terms.\n\nThe other nine players rejected the offer<\/strong>, remaining as free agents. If any are signed by a new club, the losing team will receive a compensatory pick in the next Draft.\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nPlayers Who Accepted the Qualified Offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTrent Grisham, OF \u2013 Yankees (fWAR 2025: 3.2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nGrisham starred in a breakout campaign with 34 home runs, 74 RBIs, and an .811 OPS, figures that far surpassed his offensive production from the previous three years.\n\n\nGleyber Torres, 2B \u2013 Tigers (fWAR 2025: 2.6)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nSigned by Detroit in December 2024, Torres was called up to the All-Star Game. He closed the season with 16 HR, 74 RBI, and .745 OPS, numbers similar to his 2024 performance.\n\n\nBrandon Woodruff, SP \u2013 Brewers (fWAR 2025: 1.8)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nDespite his injury history and missing all of 2024, Woodruff once again showed his quality with a 3.20 ERA and solid command in his 12 starts before ending up on the injured list.\n\n\nShota Imanaga, LZ \u2013 Cubs (fWAR 2025: 0.9)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe Cubs declined their three-year option, and the player himself rejected his US$15 million option, making him a free agent. However, he returns to the club after accepting the qualifying offer.\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nPlayers Who Rejected the Qualifying Offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nKyle Schwarber, DH \u2013 Phillies (fWAR 2025: 4.9)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nHe had a monstrous season with 56 home runs and 132 RBIs, leading MLB in RBIs. His value in the free agent market will be one of the highest.\n\n\nKyle Tucker, OF \u2013 Cubs (fWAR 2025: 4.5)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nDespite injuries, he achieved a 20-20 campaign and continues to profile as one of the main figures in the 2025-26 market.\n\n\nRanger Su\u00e1rez (Phillies), Framber Valdez (Astros), Bo Bichette (Blue Jays), Dylan Cease (Padres), Edwin D\u00edaz (Mets), Zac Gallen and Michael King (Padres)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nEveryone rejected the offer, entering a free agency that promises to be one of the busiest in recent years.\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nNotable Players Without Qualifying Offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nAmong the prominent names that did not receive<\/strong> an offer are:
Luis Arr\u00e1ez, Zach Eflin, Lucas Giolito, Jorge Polanco, Devin Williams<\/strong> and others who had previously received a qualifying offer.\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nConsiderations for the Qualified Bids System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nPlayers who reject the offer and sign with another team generate Draft compensation<\/strong> for their previous club. On the other hand, the team that hires a player under those conditions could lose Draft picks, depending on their financial and competitive situation.\n\nThis system \u2014implemented since 2012\u2014 has seen only 18 players accept a qualifying offer<\/strong> before this season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SANTO DOMINGO. \u2013 Major League Baseball (MLB) confirmed that four of the thirteen players who received a qualifying offer \u2013valued at US$22.025 million for one year\u2013 decided to accept it before the deadline of Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET.
