Here is a list of eminent free agents who have or have not received a qualification offer. We have divided this list into two sections, with the players having received a qualification offer. Below you will find a list of the most prominent players who have not received an offer.

RECEIVE QUALIFICATION OFFER

LHP Dallas Keuchel, Astros
World Series champion, former AHL winner Cy Young Award and triple winner of the Gold Glove Award at age 30, Keuchel saw his traditional stats and peripherals regress slightly in 2018. Although his time of 3.74 is almost worse than the Last season and his ground and ground ball rates both went down, he launched 200 innings for the third time in five seasons and reduced his point and walk rates. It will likely reject the qualifying offer because it is waiting for a multi-year contract because of its consistency, durability and its post-season experience. more>

LHP Patrick Corbin and of ONE J. Pollock, Back in D
Corbin is the best free-attacking starter after a win with an average of 3.15 and 246 innings, third in the NHL, in his 28-year-old season in 2018. Corbin has hit more than five-fold over hitters that he walked while throwing 200 innings. After missing the entire 2014 season following Tommy John's surgery, Corbin struggled to regain his form and was even removed from the rotation in 16, but started well in 17 before his real breakthrough in his year walking.

Pollock can stay healthy? The talent of five tools is undoubtedly there for the 30-year-old central defensive player, who realized his full potential in 2015, his only All-Star campaign, when he hit .315 / .367 / .498 with 20 circuits, 39 doubles and 39 bases stolen. But he has not played a whole season since, even though he has recorded 21 homers in 2018, a career high, while he had played only 113 games. If he accepted the offer of qualification, he would be the second highest paid player in Arizona – behind only Zack Greinke – and have a chance to impress on a full season. But if he had to decline, he would be the best center player on the market. more>

C Yasmani Grandal and LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu, Dodgers
Grandal was arguably his best all-time season at the plate in 2018 with a .241 / .349 / .466 line and 24 homers, but his season ended on a bitter note when he was supplanted by Austin Barnes as a Dodgers starter for a second consecutive season. Although he is a strong frame and a leading beating in the lineup, the backstop market, which will turn 30 in a week, could depend on the willingness of his main contenders to trade their players against those of Miami. J.T. Realmutowho is younger and has a higher ceiling.

When Ryu was healthy, the Korean lefty was excellent for the Dodgers, as evidenced by his ratio of 1.97 and 5.9 K / BB on 15 starts this season and his 3.20 career career. But the problem is that the 31-year-old has not often been in good health. After making 30 starts in an impressive rookie campaign in 2013 and another good season in 2014, Ryu has only 30 starts combined over the past three regular seasons after undergoing two surgeries in 15 and 16. Although the $ 17.9 million would represent a huge salary increase for Ryu, the Dodgers are brimming with potential launchers for 2019. more>

OF Bryce Harper, Nationals
Harper is probably tied to one of the biggest contracts in the history of Major League, and the $ 17.9 million qualifying offer would actually represent a pay cut for the player superstar. Yes, his batting average has fluctuated wildly over the last four years, but he already has six star seasons and a trophy for the most valuable National League player at the age of 26. Since his debut at the age of 19 in 2012, he has hit at least 20 homers in six of his seven seasons in the Major League, including 34 in 2018 and 42 in his 2015 MVP season. He also passed 100 steps in three seasons and stole double digit bases in four. more>

RHP Craig Kimbrel, Red Sox
Kimbrel is the best player in the free agent market with quality options. Already at age 30, Kimbrel has closed at least 30 games in each of the last eight seasons and averaged less than 2.00 points in four of those campaigns. He has struggled in 2018 and has seen his EER increase by more than a full turn compared to 2017, but his career numbers and achievements are unprecedented in this year's market. It should be in line with a long-term contract similar to those granted to Aroldis Chapman, Kenley Jansen and Wade Davis. more>

DISTRIBUTION OF REMUNERATION

• If they lose Keuchel, the Astros will receive a pick after the competitive balance round B.

• If Corbin or Pollock sign for at least $ 50 million, the D-backs will receive a choice between the first round and the competitive pay round A.

• If Corbin or Pollock sign for less than $ 50 million, the D-backs will receive a pick after competitive pay round B.

• If they lose Grandal or Ryu, the Dodgers will receive a pick after the competitive balance round B.

• Because they exceeded the salary threshold and are subject to the competitive equilibrium tax, the Nationals would receive a choice after the fourth round if they lose Harper.

• If they lose Kimbrel, the Red Sox – who were also hit by the luxury tax – will receive a pick after the fourth round.

NO QUALIFICATION OFFER

2B Jed Lowrie, AT
The A were hoping to bring Lowrie back to Oakland after the second baseman who hit the switchman reached career highs in the circuits (23), RBI (99) and fWAR (4.9) in the first All campaign -Star of his career in 2018. The qualifying offer of $ 17.9 million was probably too steep for Oakland, whose total payroll on the day of opening was $ 66 million in 2018. Given that Lowrie will be 35 in April, this is perhaps his last multi-year contract.

RHP Charlie Morton and IF / OF Marwin Gonzalez, Astros
Morton was rebuilt with the Astros, moving away from his baseball player identity and becoming more and more dependent on a fast four-seamed ball that helped him record a runway average of 3.36 in 55 starts with a stellar rate of 10.4 K / 9 in two seasons in Houston. Although he is almost 35 years old and is undergoing surgery and hip surgery at Tommy John's early career, while wasted time with hamstring and shoulder problems, his recent successes and his post-season experience should generate a lot of interest in short-term contracts.

Gonzalez played all positions except pitcher and receiver last season and, although the super-utility saw his average fall to 0.247 in 2018 after an outstanding campaign of .303 / .377 / .530 in 17, he remains a batter above average throughout his career with the kind of positional versatility this facilitates navigation for managers during the mid-season and the flexibility of post-season games.

OF Michael Brantley, Indians
The Indians have an unstable ground position for 2019, but they chose not to extend the qualifying offer to the 31-year-old camper, who rebounded after a pair of shortened campaigns to hit .309 / .364 / .468 with 17 He finished third in the AL MVP vote in 2014, when he scored 20 homers and 45 doubles, while beating .327 and stealing 23 goals. He then followed with a strong "15" before a pair of shoulder operations and an ankle injury that held him to 101 games in & 16 and & 39 # 39; 17. more>
