Kyle Tucker and Eight Other Free Agents Reject Qualifying Offers

As expected, Kyle Tucker rejected his Qualifying Offer from the Chicago Cubs, and is now attached to draft pick compensation in free agency. If and when he signs with another club, he will net the Cubs an extra 2026 draft pick after the second round. Meanwhile, this year saw an uptick in QO acceptances, with Brandon Woodruff, Gleyber Torres, and Trent Grisham joining Shota Imanaga in accepting the 1-year, $22 million deal, rather than hit free agency attached to draft pick compensation.

The Chicago Cubs are getting Shota Imanaga back for 2026 on a one-year, $22 million deal, per a Patrick Mooney report .
