Rockies closer Greg Holland has declined his option. Tampa Bay is offering a qualified offer (QO) of $17.4mil to P Alex Cobb. The Cubs will be issuing a $17,4mil QO to both pitchers Jake Arrieta and Wade Davis. The Rangers are not expected to extend a QO to pitcher Andrew Cashner. The Dodgers decline a QO to OF Andre Ethier (35-yrs old, extensive injuries). This will not make Mr. Jeter happy... opt injured P Wei-Yin Chen has decided NOT to opt out of his remaining 3-year, $52mil contract.
Personally I think Holland made a massive blunder. He could have gotten the $15 million from Colorado and been an unrestricted free agent at age 32. Now he's gambling that he'll get close to that much per season for multiple years. Granted, even if his market dips to say $12 million per year for three years that's not exactly chump change.
The free agent show begins
