2017 Qualifying Offers (Read 657 times)

[Yankees]

We will keep track of our Qualifying offers here. So when you decide you can post here. Two players for non playoff teams one for playoff teams. Take last years cap hit and add $15 that's the one year contract. Following the season player(s) become UFA.

[Yankees]

Example I can confirm '16 cap don't need it just contract:

Bombers sign Jim Thome $21/1/$21 to qualifying offer

[Yankees]

We have till super bowl so you can wait to offer any qualifying offers till then or post them here. Cannot rescind qualifying offers so might as well wait unless your certain.

Again your qualifying player might be someone else's RFA...hey I'd hit up the playoff teams as we only can offer 1 qualifying offer and non playoff can offer 2...

Just my 2 Cents

Not sure I understand this. You are saying that a team can claim another team's RFA? Please clarify.

I believe he is saying you can trade for an RFA and then use this new rule to sign him for a year. For example, if I desperately wanted Danny Espinosa (and I can assure you I do not), I could trade you Chris Sale for his RFA and then use the new rule to sign him for a year at $15 plus his cap last year.

That would make sense to me. Just the way it is phrased kinda seems otherwise.

Of course, in my case it doesn't apply to the Brewers 'cause I intend to use my one $15-plus shot at keeping my own RFA: Justin Morneau ... and cashing in on his big bounce back season!

[Yankees]

Yes what he said

[Yankees]

It's a new wrinkle to you dealing salaried guys for a RFA. You could sign those guys now where before you couldn't.

[Yankees]

Come on 14 teams and only 4 qualifying offers?

[lewjo]

10 of us overthinking things.

[Yankees]

Excellent idea Rob. Hey please sign your qualifying offer guys in their RFA bidding thread also as to avoid any confusion down the line.

Didn't see anyone I wanted to overpay one year for
