Off-season Qualifying Offer Question


OsFanInOhio

Recommended Posts

Are teams able to extend qualifying offers to multiple players in the same offseason? Curious if we will be able to for both Burnes and Santander if we do not extend them. And if so, would we be able to get comp a picks for both of them if they both signed deals worth more than 50mm?

Burnes is going almost assured to get one.  That was probably the reasoning behind Elias sending a pick in the trade for him.

You wouldn’t tender Santander because you don’t think he’s worth a 1 year 20mm deal (or whatever the exact value is) or because we can’t extend multiple players?

I don't want Santander for 1/20M next season.

As far as I know teams are NOT limited in the number of players they can tender.

I think Corn has a typo in here. There are no limits on QO per team.

Fair enough. I figure he’s a pretty big piece of our lineup and team/culture, so I wouldn’t mind him coming back.
 

I also thought he’s likely to get more than that in free agency, so if we extend and he signs elsewhere it is a free pick. Jorge soler got 2 year 42mm or something, and is older and a dh only (or negative defensive WAR if he does play in the field). In my mind, that SHOULD put Santander in the realm of a 50mm dollar contract, and mean a potential comp a pick. This second part might be the answer to you not wanting him back at 1/20, as I’d be pretty surprised if he took it. 
 

Getting comp a picks for both Burnes and Santander would be pretty nice if we are likely to lose both anyway.

I see no reason to prejudge whether to make a QO to Santander.  Let’s see what kind of year he has, and how guys like Kjerstad do.  

Agreed. More of a conceptual exercise, and being curious if there was a world where we have 4 top 40 picks next year (first rounder, comp a for ROTY, comp a for Burnes, comp a for Santander).

That would be amazing.

I will say… I have given quality offers in the Show thinking I was gonna get some good draft picks and then they signed it. So there’s that to think about (fully aware it’s a game 😃)

Matt accepted his.  O's spent 15.8M on a 1.9 rWAR season.

He could have a career year and would still not be worth a QO.

I remember the board was positive he wouldn’t accept as well. Was that the first Boras client to accept? 

It was the first season in which one did.  I can't speak with confidence if he was the first, or only, Boras client to do it that season.

    • I'm afraid I will have to see it to believe it. I have been disappointed way too many times to count.
    • To build off your point, Elias quotes suggest that the intent is for payroll to be higher in 2025 than 2024.  The only way I see that happening is to sign premium SP (or re-sign Burnes).  Simple shortcut math 2025 Eflin offsets 2024 Burnes salary, leaving $25M to fill for 2024 Santander+Kimbrel.  Arb raises and full year Seranthony + Soto may wash to neutral-ish with no Hayes, Means (or at most $5M more in 2025).  Net/net that leaves $20-$25M to stay flat.  So IMO if payroll is to rise year-on-year, it has to be from adding premium pitching (given Santander as QO and leave as FA).
    • IMO Goldschmidt and Alonso are not equivalents as players at this point. Goldschmidt is much closer to done and I would stay far away from him. We need at least one good/impactful veteran hitter. Not somebody who used to be good. 
    • They will probably go after Sugano the 35 year old at the end of his career as he is cheaper and no posting fee.  
    • David Ortiz also commanded the strike zone.  He didn't swing at a lot of junk.  He got his pitch or the pitcher made a mistake, he hit it.  Pitchers will let you get yourself out all day if you swing at pitches repeatedly out of the zone.  We need to do a better job of this.  
    • Elias has said that he and his staff are (or will be) making an exhaustive inquiry to identify the sources of this team's underperformance -- which I take to mean not just the playoff defeats, but also the underperformance during the second half of the sentence. Sounds good.  But at the same time, before that investigation has gotten underway, Elias has announced that Hyde will be back next year. I believe many of the criticisms of Hyde's in-game decisions, lack of fire, failure to take action in response to boneheaded baserunning, etc., etc. -- including my own -- have been exaggerated. But Hyde does seem, to me anyway, to have shortcomings as a manager. I really don't know whether any of this team's problems could be alleviated by bringing in a new manager with qualities that Hyde lacks. But if Elias is serious about a top-to-bottom review of the team's weaknesses and ways that those weaknesses might be improved on, shouldn't the manager's stewardship  be among the subjects considered? It appears that Elias intends to scrutinize and look for constructive changes throughout the organization. Except the manager. I don't get it.
    • So where did it go wrong, if it’s tough to pin it on bad swing decisions?  I still think an injury (or multiple smaller injuries) is possible, if not probable. Evaluating the possibility of a hand injury, here are his Statcast numbers from the two weeks prior to and following that incident on June 27: 2022-2023: 37.8% hard hit rate; 88.2 MPH avg. EV; .353 wOBA 06/12 - 06/26: 43.8% hard hit rate; 89.8 MPH avg. EV; .356 wOBA 06/28 - 07/14: 20.5% hard hit rate; 83.6 MPH avg. EV; .214 wOBA Coming into June 27, Adley was hitting the ball harder than he ever had. He was actually hitting it even harder in the week prior to June 27 than what I showed above. After that ball off his hand, those hard contact numbers instantly fell off, in a pretty dramatic fashion. And they never really came back.  07/14 - 09/30: 30.0% hard hit rate; 86.9 MPH avg. EV; .258 wOBA I don’t think it’s quite proof positive that he was playing with a broken hand or that type of thing. But it’s very suspicious that his performance immediately fell off a cliff after getting hit with that foul ball and really never again returned to anything approaching normal for him.
