I'm really interested in seeing how the qualifying offer will be treated next year if it stays following the next CBA negotiation. Rasmus, Wieters, and Brett Anderson finally jumped at it this year and I'm convinced that Murph would have taken it were he not coming off of one of the best postseason performances of all time. But Fowler and Desmond still got burned.

The cost might go up even higher to around $16.5-17 million or so. You might just see teams starting to balk at even offering it because eventually guys are just gonna accept that they aren't going to get anywhere near that type of AAV on their next deal and they'll just bet on themselves to put up good numbers.
