Yankees news: No qualifying offer for Jazz Chisholm Jr
The top 50 available; Bednar gets QO’d, but not Jazz; Yankees pursuing Sato; Luciano added to 40-man
New York Yankees have extended the $23 million qualifying offer to closer David Bednar, making him the highest paid reliever in baseball based on yearly salary. This decision contrasts with the Yankees not extending the same offer to Jazz Chisholm Jr., a closer who had a disastrous season with the club. The $23 million offer will expire on November 17th, giving Bednar time to decide whether to accept the deal or pursue other opportunities.
The Yankees are also monitoring Japanese star Teruaki Sato, who will be posted this offseason. Sato's move to MLB could provide a significant upgrade at third base and fill the void left by Ryan McMahon's underwhelming performance.
