Shota Imanaga has accepted a one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer from the Chicago Cubs, ensuring his return for the 2026 season. The left-handed pitcher opted to stay rather than test free agency further, while outfielder Kyle Tucker declined the same offer and will pursue a multiyear deal elsewhere. This move secures draft compensation for the Cubs if Tucker signs with another team.
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres has accepted the team's one-year, $22,025,000 qualifying offer for the 2026 season. This deal marks a raise from his previous $15 million contract and brings back a key player from their 2025 playoff team. Torres, who had an All-Star season before an injury, is expected to be ready for Spring Training.
