and there it is, Estrada gets the QO
Can someone please explain how the $15.8M was arrived at? What is the basis for arriving at the QO?
Yeah.

david price: Two agents for free-agent starting pitchers predict that price will sign with the cubs. An executive who knows price says that the cubs are his first choice. It’s all talk until the contract is signed, particularly when the dodgers, giants, cardinals and red sox all could be in the mix.
chris davis: His 159 home runs led the majors the past four seasons, and his .533 slugging percentage ranks ninth. Sure, davis also had the highest strikeout rate in the majors last season, but teams will accept the tradeoff for his rare power — and he can play the outfield and even third as well as first base. The red sox, astros, blue jays and cardinals are among the possible fits.
Worst call for balls/strikes I've seen was the one nearly in the dirt to end a game last season. Even the pitcher seemed shocked
Yeah. Zero chance he accepts that.
According to reddit, a qualifying offer hasn't been accepted in like 2 seasons league wide, lol.
After giving him the QO, can the Jays also negotiate a different longer term contract?

Wow, the system blanked out "r€tard": to delay or hold back in terms of progress, development, or accomplishment.
I understand why, but man...killing my prose.

You might be the first person in the history of hf to use it in that context without doing so to intentionally reference the usual offensive definition.
There was a long conversation about taking it out of the filter for that reason, but it was eventually agreed that the one or two legit uses per year weren't worth the hundreds of posts where someone would use it offensively.
I know we need pitching but I really want us to throw money at Jason Heyward
I don't see Marco, at 32, accepting it at all. His agent will be looking for term. Also, the draft pick attached will ****** his market. If you indeed do want him back, it's a great way to keep the demand lower.
As for Buehrle, I think he still wants to play. Only 36. Was very effective for ~150 innings before tiring. If he accepts, you get the same guy back for a ~$4.2MM discount for one year. If he rejects, it will be completely due to location (i.e. Closer to the kids, the dogs).
Worst case scenario, you bring back two fifths of your rotation for a net increase of ~$7.7MM. Both on 1 year deals, both pitching for their careers effectively.
If you believe Stroman Buehrle is probably done.
