Mark Trumbo, who led the Majors with 47 home runs in 2016, has rejected the $17.2 million qualifying offer made to him by the Orioles.
Teams that extended qualifying offers to eligible players this offseason are guaranteed a compensatory 2017 Draft pick in return should that player sign with another team as a free agent. Players had until 5 p.m. ET Monday to accept or reject a qualifying offer.
Trumbo, who turns 31 in January, will be entering his eighth Major League season. He hit .256/.316/.533 and drove in a career-high 108 runs in his only season with Baltimore.
