Even if you acquire a draft pick with QO… If the tax is over, your ranking will drop.
The Major League Players Association announced on the 14th (15th Japan time) that all seven players, including pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who is a free agent, have rejected qualifying offers (QOs). The stipulated condition for next season is $20.325 million (approximately 3.05 billion yen) for a single year, and it was a “predetermined course” for Otani, whose annual salary is less than this season’s $30 million (approximately 4.5 billion yen), to refuse.
The Angels will be able to obtain a draft pick if Ohtani is transferred to another team. They will be given the right to pick right after the second round (balance of strength round B), allowing them to acquire promising players. However, the team may have failed to avoid luxury taxes even though it released key players at the end of August, so in the worst case scenario, the pick due to Ohtani’s transfer could drop to after the fourth round.
Mike Aksisa, a columnist for the American media outlet CBS Sports, said, “It’s a small thing considering we’re losing a player like Ohtani.” There is a difference of about 60 people. As this season’s trade deadline approached, multiple U.S. media outlets reported that each team targeting Ohtani was planning to trade multiple players, including promising prospects. However, the Angels went shopping and let go of several young players.
However, the team has been in a slump since the trade deadline closed. At the end of August, the team placed five players on waivers, including pitchers Lucas Giolito and Matt Moore, reducing their total annual salaries. Despite this, it was reported that outfielder Randall Glichick, one of those placed on waivers, remained and the team failed to avoid the luxury tax. The reporter pointed out, “They (Angels) were desperate to cut total annual salary. Still, I don’t know if they succeeded (in getting below the luxury tax line).”
The official calculation of the luxury tax will be in December, so it is unclear whether the Angels will cross the tax line, but if Ohtani leaves and ends up crossing the tax line, it would be a huge blow to the team. is.
