Qualifying offer is up to $14.1 million

yikes. i wonder how many free agents are even gonna get that offer.

I probably should know what you're talking about but alas, I don't.

Under the "old" system, teams just had to offer arbitration. New system is that they have to make a Qualifying Offer ($13.3 Mil last year, $14.1 Mil this year) in order to receive compensation in the draft.


Yankees would have to offer Granderson $14.1 Mil or the Tigers would have to offer Peralta $14.1 Mil to receive compensation. That is assuming they turned it down and went elsewhere.

These players are all but certain to be tendered: Yankee's Robinson Cano, Boston’s Jacoby Ellsbury, Cincinnati’s Shin-Soo Choo, and Atlanta’s Brian McCann. St. Louis’ Carlos Beltran and San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum are probable, and Texas’ Nelson Cruz and Mike Napoli will be interesting calls.

Mike Napoli is in Boston now. They seem to like him.

I failed to include Napoli's team. But will Boston make a qualifying offer?

I prefer No Compensation when teams lose free agents.
I want the old Draft system back where those fans watching the MLB Draft online know the 61st Pick is the beginning of the 3rd Round and going to the worst team in MLB the prior season.

Peralta is not a tier 1 free agent.

K? I was just responding to Reb's example..

Right. But the players he named were the old typa-a free agents, which when they signed with a new club, got you the signing clubs first round, plus a compensatory draft pick. All those players, the clubs would probably at least want the compensation pick and to do that they need to offer them the money.

So my saying Peralta was not a tier 1 was explaining Peralta was never in that category. Losing a player like Peralta is not worth that kind of offer just to try to land a draft pick. Especially because Jhonny would take it.

Depends on how much they want to bid on that Cuban kid, Alvarez.
