With players getting dumped all around the league and the few players that could opt in doing so faster than at the speed of light, it was a big surprise that the San Francisco Giants actually saw Kevin Gausman fit for a qualifying offer where players like Marcus Semien, Andrelton Simmons, Liam Hendriks or Michael Brantley did not get one. The others to get a qualifying offer were, unsurprisingly, Trevor Bauer, D.J. LeMahieu, J.T. Realmuto, George Springer and even Marcus Stroman, despite the latter not playing in 2020 (but a big mouth helps in New York).
