8 players, including Mariners OF Randy Arozarena and Cubs OF Seiya Suzuki, receive qualifying offers

QOs can be offered only to impending free agents who have never received a qualifying offer before and who spent the entire regular season with that organization; players who were traded are not eligible. A player can accept the one-year offer and return to their previous team, or decline it. If they decline it, their former team gets a compensatory pick, and their new team loses a draft pick. The former team's comp pick can come after the first round, after Competitive Balance Round B, or after the fourth round.
