Josh Donaldson was one of 10 players that received qualifying offers on Monday. Each player will have until November 14 to decide whether to accept the one-year, $17.8 million offer or decline it and head into free agency with attached draft pick compensation. Here is a look at each player who received a qualifying offer.
Jose Abreu - White Sox
Madison Bumgarner - Giants
Gerrit Cole - Astros
Josh Donaldson - Braves
Jake Odorizzi - Twins
Marcell Ozuna - Cardinals
Anthony Rendon - Nationals
Will Smith - Giants
Stephen Strasburg - Nationals
Zack Wheeler - Mets
While the Braves will receive a compensatory draft selection if Donaldson declines the qualifying offer and goes elsewhere, the team will have to weigh losing a pick of their own should they pursue any of the free agents above.
