New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval was one of 12 players who rejected a one-year qualifying offer from their team prior to Monday’s deadline.<\/p>\n
As expected, every player tendered a one-year, $15.3 million offer rejected it, the Major League Baseball Players Association said.<\/p>\n
Veteran outfielder Michael Cuddyer signed a two-year contract with the New York Mets on Monday after rejecting his offer from the Colorado Rockies.<\/p>\n
Sandoval, 28, had an MLB-record 26 hits this postseason to help the Giants win their third World Series title in five years and is now free to sign with any team.<\/p>\n
After submitting qualifying offers to their players, each of the former teams will receive a compensatory pick between the first and second rounds of next year’s draft if that player signs with another club.<\/p>\n
The Mets gave up the 15th overall pick to ink Cuddyer.<\/p>\n
AL MVP candidate Victor Martinez and 2013 Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, who is candidate again this year, rejected offers from the Detroit Tigers.<\/p>\n
Also rejecting offers were Melky Cabrera (Blue Jays), Nelson Cruz (Orioles), Francisco Liriano and Russell Martin (Pirates), Hanley Ramirez (Dodgers), David Robertson (Yankees), Ervin Santana (Braves) and James Shields (Royals).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
