San Francisco Giants pitcher Kevin Gausman has accepted the qualifying offer tendered to him by the Giants, per multiple reports. That means that Gausman will forego free agency, and instead return to the Giants on a one year, $18.9 million deal.
There were six players who received the qualifying offer tender this year, and the deadline to accept or reject was today. George Springer, Trevor Bauer and J.T. Realmuto all rejected the qualifying offer, as did D.J. LeMahieu, who I thought was a possibility to accept.
