Post subject:  WILL SHARK TAKE $15.8 MILLION ?

MLB has released its qualifying offer figure for this off-season, and it’s $15.8 million. That’s up from $15.3 million last year.

No player has ever accepted a qualifying offer.

The Sox have to make that offer in order to a compensation pick if he declines and then signs else where.

Two part question:

Do the Sox make the offer and does Shark take it?

I say YES Sox make offer and NO Shark so he is history.

That's a lot of money for a loser of a pitcher. I wouldn't offer him that. Ridiculous.

The Sox have to make the offer. I don't think he takes it,.I think he could get 4-50$ .. He won't sniff 100 million . I hate the guy..I don't want him in Chicago on either team Evervagain.

It's fucked up but in this case that QO is overvalued for this guy.
I'm telling you guys. He's a loser.

The Sox have to offer it. I can't see him being the first guy to accept it. I would look for him next season in a Cub or Yankee uniform.

No way a Cub..none..we don't want him and I don't see any team in the A.L. taking him..he needs to be in a pitchers park like Dodgers or San Diego as a 4th starter.

Nope. Dude is hopeless. He is without hope.

FWIW, Bruce Levine says it is more than just a possibility that he signs with the Cub.

I'm not sure who "we" is. You're not Jed Hoyer, are you? I'm pretty sure the Cubs are going to be looking for a second tier free agent starter, maybe a guy like Mike Leake. If Samardzija can be had for the right price, I'm sure Theo will give him a look.

Of course he will. Right after they've had Zimmerman in for a steak dinner.

He'd make a very nice 4th starter behind Arietta, Lester, and Price ... 5th guy if they have a really nice steak.

I'm sort of wondering if Lackey would take it. I would think he would be looking for one last good multi year at 38.it wouldn't cripple the team if he came back.

Where will Papelbon be next year? I'm thinking Nat's trade him. He has one year left right?

To get the draft pick.

How high of a pick can that be? He sucks.

He sucks and he will always suck. Let's pray some team doesn't (NOT THE CUBS) believe he has some value.

If he's got a $16MM QO, that will be a nice draft pick.

I can't believe the QO is that high.

It will be a compensatory draft pick that comes after the first 30 picks (assuming no team loses it's pick and a few other conditions like no signed 2015 picks).... so somewhere after #30 to about 35 or so depending on how many comp picks there are.

Why? That can't be everybody's QO.

What determines it for him?
