George Springer, Trevor Bauer Receive Qualifying Offers
4 years agoFree-agent starting pitchers Trevor Bauer (Cincinnati Reds), Marcus Stroman (New York Mets) and Kevin Gausman (San Francisco Giants) and position players DJ LeMahieu (New York Yankees), George Springer (Houston Astros) and J.T. Realmuto (Philadelphia Phillies) all received qualifying offers on Sunday that will tie them to their current teams. If any of them accept, they will be given a one-year deal worth $18.9 million. They'll have 10 days to accept or reject the offers. If they reject it, they'll become free agents and the team that signs them will have to give up draft-pick compensation. Astros outfielder Michael Brantley, A's shortstop Marcus Semien, A's closer Liam Hendriks and Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons were among the notable players not to receive an offer.
