Okay. So today's a big day. Four o'clock, Glabortez has to tell the Tigers is going to take the one-year qualifying offer.

The one-year qualifying offer for the free agent is $22.05 million. He can accept it or decline it.

If he declines it, he can't return to Detroit and assuming he would want a longer-term contract.

But he could also sign somewhere else.

It feels kind of unlikely he'll accept this, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Torres?

Yeah.

I feel like, I mean, it all comes down to he's going to get a multi-year offer from somebody else.

The Tigers aren't going to give them a multi-year offer because the tigers have too many players that they want to bring up.

Yep.

I think secretly the Tigers might be hoping that he gets an offer somewhere else so it clears up that roster spot because it's a $22 million savings.

Because not only you're not having to pay Glaver Torres to $22 million, but the player you're bringing up is someone who hasn't played in the majors yet. So their salary is less than a million. So you went on both fronts there. You get to promote somebody that you're dying to see and you don't have to pay him. But will Glaver Torres get a three-year deal? I've heard that he's, there was one report that he wanted the three-year deal, one report he wants a four-year deal. Obviously, would pay him less than $20 million a year, but it's that security of having a three-year, $45 million, a three-year, $50 million contract, whatever it would be.

The other thing is a 40-man roster.

They have decisions to make because if you were exposed to the 40-man roster, there's rules that if you're in the minors for a certain period of time,

four or five years, it depends where you were taking or three or four years.

It's somewhat complicated.

But if you're stuck in the minors, you are eligible for something

called the Rule 5 draft, which is, you know, after a certain amount of time, any team can

take you off your minor league rosters, but they have to keep you at the major league level.

What this does is it prevents a player from being stuck behind a superstar.

So, for example, you know, if you're a great, if you were a great first baseman in the

Tigers organization during the Miguel Cabrera era and you were never going to get a shot
