What is a qualifying offer in MLB?
A team could only extend a qualifying offer to a player who hadn't received one before and spent the entire 2024 season on its roster.
The qualifying offer is a one-year deal with a value equal to the mean salary of MLB's 125 highest-paid players. This year's qualifying offer is worth $21.05 million.

Players now have until 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 19 to accept the offers.
Should a player not accept the qualifying offer and then sign with a new club in free agency, the team that lost the free agent will receive a compensatory draft pick. A club that signs a rival player who rejected a qualifying offer is subject to the loss of at least one draft pick.
Seven players were extended qualifying offers last year, including Shohei Ohtani, but none accepted the one-year deals. According to MLB.com, just 13 of 131 total qualifying offers have been accepted since 2012.
Who are the MLB players that didn't receive qualifying offers?
Here's a look at some notable names who were eligible but didn't receive qualifying offers:
- Shane Bieber, RHP, Cleveland Guardians
- Walker Buehler, RHP, Los Angeles Dodgers
- Ha-Seong Kim, SS, San Diego Padres
- Tyler O'Neill, OF, Boston Red Sox
- Jurickson Profar, OF, San Diego Padres
- Gleyber Torres, 2B, New York Yankees
