The Major League Baseball offseason is in full swing, and with that players have begun making decisions on their contracts for the 2023 campaign.
While Joc Pederson accepted a $19.65 million qualifying offer from the San Francisco Giants, and Martín Pérez accepted a $19.65 million qualifying offer from the Texas Rangers, a number of players declined those qualifying offers.
Among those to decline are Aaron Judge, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Jacob deGrom, Dansby Swanson, Carlos Rodón, Brandon Nimmo, Willson Contreras, Chris Bassitt, Anthony Rizzo and Nathan Eovaldi.
However, Rizzo agreed to a two-year, $34 million deal, including a $17 million club option for a third year, to remain with the New York Yankees.
