Pitchers Shota Imanaga and Brandon Woodruff are among four players who received QO -

Trent Grisham, Gleyber Torres, Shota Imanaga and Brandon Woodruff received the qualifying offers of $ 22.025 million, choosing to stay with their clubs for next season rather than going to a free agency.

New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Torres, accept their team with a salary of $22.025 million.

The other nine players who received extended qualifying offers declined them, meaning that if they leave in free agency, those organizations will receive draft pick compensation.

This list includes Phillies designated player Kyle Schwarber, Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez, Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker, Astros pitcher Framber Valdez, Blue Jays outfielder Bo Bichette, Padres pitchers Dylan Cease and Michael King, Mets closer Edwin Diaz, and Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen.All are still free to re-sign with their former teams, as well as with any other organization.

At the start of this winter, just 14 of 144 players had accepted a qualifying offer since its inception in 2012. The total rose to 18 of 157 after four players accepted theirs on Tuesday.Grisham, Torres, Woodruff, and Imanaga probably wouldn't get more annual value on the open market by opting for a higher salary in one season, knowing a potential labor fight is brewing due to the CBA expiring after next season.It's unclear what the game's economy will look like in 2027 or beyond.

Grisham hit .235 with 34 home runs last season, his second with the Yankees.Those home runs helped lead to a career-high .811 Ops and the following special offer from New York.For his acceptance, he gets an increase of 17 million.

Imanaga, 32, will also receive a salary after making $13.25 million last season in 2025.

Woodfoose, 32, is coming off a 12-game absence from a shoulder injury in 2025.
