New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham was one of thirteen MLB players this week to receive the $22.025 million qualifying offer. This means that Grisham can accept the offer and be paid that amount in 2026 with no future guarantees, or he can decline the offer and enter free agency.

It’s uncommon for players to accept the qualifying offer, as they far more often than not prefer to test the market and seek a richer deal, and for multiple years. Only six players have accepted the qualifying offer over the past five offseasons.

“Do you see a qualifying offer being accepted here anywhere?”
