A Qualifying offer would be for a real life MLB player on your team. Right now, you have 2 choices. Decline him or accept his contract. This would give you a 3rd option. You can decide to give that player a Qualifying Offer. Meaning he will get a one year deal at the MLB Qualifying offer (this year was around $15M). After the one year he is automatically a free agent and will be in the MLB Auction. So if you have a free agent that signs a big contract you could keep him for one more year at the $15M price.

I voted yes for this because it provides protection on a team's FA for one year.
The one year QO, the equivalent amount of a real life MLB QO, might be a bit more than what the player may receive on the open market based on a yearly average but at the same time the one year contract should be less than the overall amount of the FA contract.

I think I originally brought up this idea in the past (might be mistaken) but a big "YES" from me. I think this is great.

Another thing to ponder if this passes, do we allow multiple players to be on QO or just one per year?

I believe a team gets more than one hometown discount on the FA's so why not allow a team to have more than just one QO?

If we follow the MLB rules, it's unlimited. NFL rules (franchise tag) state one. I would say unlimited number of players.

Yeah there is no issue with multiple. It actually puts more players in the auction in the future.

Easy yes, gives you the chance to get one last year out of a guy who might have signed a huge contract you cannot afford. Plus this should also do wonders for trades, because we would be able to sell assets better, as I did not acquire any pending FA this year because I didn't want to risk declining a big contract.
What comes next is knowing which FA would qualify for an offer, only the ones with real MLB contracts? Because I could see me getting a great player for 20 million per year, and extending him for 15 M the year after his contract is up

The only players that would be eligible would be the real life free agents to be.

Voted yes. I believe this would make trading more fun.
