Qualifying offer for 2020 to be $18.9M, per report

This most likely doesn’t impact the Rangers — the one player coming into the season who would be a free agent after 2020 and who might have received the qualifying offer was Mike Minor, who had a disappointing 2020 season and was dealt to the Oakland A’s for a pair of players to be named later before the deadline. He’s now ineligible to receive the QO, since players traded mid-season can’t be tendered the QO.
