Pittsburgh Pirates reliever David Bednar has been extended a qualifying offer for the 2027 season, while New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. did not receive one, leaving the Yankees to explore options at the position.
The qualifying offer, a one-year contract worth the average of the top 125 salaries in MLB, was tendered to Bednar ahead of the November deadline. Chisholm, who hit a solo home run against the Los Angeles Angels on September 1, 2026, becomes a free agent without draft-pick compensation attached. The Yankees must now decide whether to re-sign Chisholm, pursue other free agents, or turn to internal candidates for second base.
