Qualifying Offer Price Set At $22.025MM
"The qualifying offer is calculated as the average salary for the league's 125 highest-paid players. It tends to rise year over year as salaries on the top of the market generally inflate. Last year's QO price was set at $21.05MM, so this represents a $975K bump. The previous years' QO figures were as follows: 2020-21: $18.9MM 2021-22: $18.4MM 2022-23: $19.65MM 2023-24: $20.325MM 2024-25: $21.05MM"
"Teams have until five days after the conclusion of the World Series to decide whether to issue the qualifying offer to any of their impending free agents. Players who are issued the QO have 15 days to decide whether to accept the one-year deal or decline in search of a better (usually multi-year) contract. They are free to speak with all 30 teams during that 15-day period to get an early read on their market."
Major League Baseball set the qualifying offer at $22.025 million. The QO equals the average salary of the league’s 125 highest-paid players and typically rises as top-market salaries inflate; this year’s figure is a $975,000 increase from last year’s $21.05 million. Teams have until five days after the World Series to issue qualifying offers; players then have 15 days to accept a one-year deal or decline while consulting all 30 clubs. A player cannot receive a qualifying offer more than once and must have spent the entire preceding season on the issuing club’s roster to be eligible. Former clubs receive draft compensation if a player declines.
