Adam Ottavino, a pitcher for the New York Mets, has become a free agent after the team declined to renegotiate his contract. Ottavino had expressed interest in staying with the Mets, but the club was not interested. The Mets' decision comes as they face several other contract negotiations, including with Michael Wacha, Blake Snell, and Josh Hader. The Phillies have offered a qualifying offer to Aaron Nola, but not to Rhys Hoskins. The Padres have extended qualifying offers to Blake Snell and Josh Hader.

This year's seven-player class of qualifying offer recipients https://t.co/bi1r9HNJzp https://t.co/LKuZl9AZLz
#Phillies tagged Aaron Nola with $20.325M qualifying offer. He's expected to decline. Phils would get draft pick compensation if he signs elsewhere. Rhys Hoskins, Craig Kimbrel, Michael Lorenzen didn't get QO, which doesn't necessarily close the door on any/all returning.

MLB qualifying offer: Seven players receive $20.325M offer, Rhys Hoskins and Teoscar Hernández not among group https://t.co/LBDuXRpw9C
Only 7 players received qualifying offers: Ohtani,Snell,Nola, Hader, Bellinger, Chapman and Gray. None of them are expected to accept the offers rather enter free agency to sign longer term more lucrative contracts.
Based on our modeling, fair value for one year of Mitch Garver's services is $12.7M, explaining the #Rangers decision not to extend him a $20.325M qualifying offer.
Teoscar Hernandez is a free agent after the Mariners did not make him a qualifying offer, @DKramer_ https://t.co/SaGbQUpPVv
Seven Players Receive Qualifying Offers https://t.co/P3bhCDrvgW https://t.co/Dr4in5CLaY
Based on our modeling, fair value for one year of Teoscar Hernandez's services is $17.5M, explaining the #Mariners decision not to extend him a $20.325M qualifying offer (although, given their roster construction, doing so would have been defensible).

Dodgers Do Not Extend Qualifying Offer To J.D. Martinez https://t.co/Ro9nyu0zeL https://t.co/SAkyB5nrXY
No shock here, but neither Teoscar Hernández nor Jorge Soler -- two free-agent sluggers who would make some sense for the Mets -- received a qualifying offer. They won't have draft compensation attached to them. (Shohei Ohtani and Cody Bellinger were among those to get the QO.)
Rangers Do Not Extend Qualifying Offer To Mitch Garver https://t.co/HWcv2ptkn8 https://t.co/l1iWm4yBgU
The Angels confirm they’ve extended a qualifying offer to Shohei Ohtani. Not a surprise there.
As expected, the Phillies made Aaron Nola a qualifying offer. Rhys Hoskins, Craig Kimbrel and Michael Lorenzen did not get one. It does not close the door for Hoskins' return, but much depends on where Bryce Harper plays next year.
Phillies Do Not Extend Qualifying Offer To Rhys Hoskins https://t.co/BaoRH56EE7 https://t.co/ZxLEgYngVc
Phillies are only giving the $20.325M qualifying offer to Aaron Nola. So no QO for Rhys Hoskins. There’s still a decent chance he could go back there though.

https://t.co/8JGL1Iz4JX I spoke to Adam Ottavino, who told me that he tried to redo his contract to find a way to stay a Met -- but the club was not interested.
