Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker, Philadelphia designated hitter Kyle Schwarber also said no along with San Diego right-handers Dylan Cease and Michael King, New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz, Arizona right-hander Zac Gallen, Philadelphia pitcher Ranger Suárez and Houston left-hander Framber Valdez.
Among the players to accept their qualifying offers for the 2026 season were Brandon Woodruff (Brewers), Trent Grisham (New York Yankees), Gleyber Torres (Detroit Tigers), and Shota Imanaga (Chicago Cubs) for a one-year,
