The Boston Red Sox are considering a qualifying offer of $21.05 million for free agent outfielder Tyler O'Neill this offseason. This amount reflects the average salary of the top 125 players in Major League Baseball.
If O'Neill accepts the offer, he will remain with the team at that salary. If he declines, the Red Sox can still pursue a multi-year deal, and they would receive a draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
Despite battling injuries, O'Neill had a productive season, hitting 31 home runs and driving in 61 runs over 113 games. However, the Red Sox face a crowded outfield situation with several promising players already on the roster.
