Smart of them to do so. When someone pays him his projected 2 years $42 mil we’ll get a top 40 draft pick in 2026. I’ll miss him though
Can someone eli5 how this works?
Brewers offer him this.
He declines it, we get a pick
We then turn around and offer him 3 years 15 million.
Can we do that? Or does giving him a QO ruin any chance of signing him at a lower number later?
That could be a really tough call for Woody – seems like a fair deal for him coming off an injury but I’m guessing he wants more years – but it’s gonna make it a riskier market for him now that he’s saddled with draft pick compensation.
If you think about it the deal is $32 mil for the year since they paid him 10 mil for the buyout
Since there is some confusion regarding the qualifying offer and potential comp picks –
1. A player must be offered the QO and decline it to be eligible for a comp pick.
2. MIL received revenue sharing, therefore the comp pick is determined by the contract amount He would sign elsewhere for. Less than 50 mil = competitive balance round B (before round 3). over 50 mil = pick after round 1.
Hopefully he gets a 3 year contract which would most likely give us that comp round A pick.
For those wondering –
because the Cubs did not receive revenue sharing, the highest their comp pick can be is round B for Tucker.
Q to
I don’t think they would have made the offer if they didn’t feel pretty confident that he would turn it down.
