The San Francisco Giants have made a qualifying offer to slugger Joc Pederson, and their fans are stunned. Pederson was an All-Star player in 2022, but many believe this would be an overpay from the Giants. The Giants had an uncharecteristically bad season by their standards, missing the postseason. Clearly, the front office believes Pederson is part of the solution, not the problem.Qualifying offers are usually reserved for top players becoming free agents around the MLB. Pederson is an All-Star, but few would argue he is on the same level as Aaron Judge or Jacob deGrom. Because of this, we can clearly see how highly the San Francisco Giants think about Pederson.Jon Heyman provided a comprehensive list of players that received a qualifying offer via Twitter.Jon Heyman@JonHeymanPlayers receiving $19.65M qualifying offer …Tyler AndersonChris BassittXander BogaertsWillson ContrerasJacob deGromNate EovaldiAaron JudgeBrandon NimmoJoc PedersonMartin PerezAnthony RizzoCarlos RodonDansby SwansonTrea Turner52278Players receiving $19.65M qualifying offer …Tyler AndersonChris BassittXander BogaertsWillson ContrerasJacob deGromNate EovaldiAaron JudgeBrandon NimmoJoc PedersonMartin PerezAnthony RizzoCarlos RodonDansby SwansonTrea TurnerGiants fans were beyond surprised to see Pederson's name on that list. After hitting a batting average of .275 with 23 home runs, they expected him to re-sign with the team. Not at 19.65 million dollars a year, though. The hope was that any extension would be much more team friendly.SportsTalkATL.com@SportsTalkATLJoc Pederson getting a QO is shocking to say the least.

Other stars typically decline it, knowing they can make more on the open market. Purely from a financial position, this is likely the most valuable offer that Pederson will receive for a single season of his services.Matthew Pouliot@matthewpouliotHaving to think Joc Pederson is going to take this. He made $6MM and $7MM the last two years. Pérez and Eovaldi are the next most likely, with Rizzo and Anderson as the other possibilities. twitter.com/JonHeyman/stat…Jon Heyman@JonHeymanPlayers receiving $19.65M qualifying offer …Tyler AndersonChris BassittXander BogaertsWillson ContrerasJacob deGromNate EovaldiAaron JudgeBrandon NimmoJoc PedersonMartin PerezAnthony RizzoCarlos RodonDansby SwansonTrea Turner281Players receiving $19.65M qualifying offer …Tyler AndersonChris BassittXander BogaertsWillson ContrerasJacob deGromNate EovaldiAaron JudgeBrandon NimmoJoc PedersonMartin PerezAnthony RizzoCarlos RodonDansby SwansonTrea TurnerHaving to think Joc Pederson is going to take this.

This qualifying offer does have logic to it. The question is mainly about resource management and how the San Francisco Giants will conduct the rest of their free agency. Based on reports, the team has no issue being big spenders this offseason, which lines up with this kind of offer.Quinlin R. Holmes@sdscorpions@JonHeyman Wait what? Joc Pederson got shitty one year contracts two years in a row. How could he be offered 19??!! Wtf@JonHeyman Wait what? Joc Pederson got shitty one year contracts two years in a row.

It's hard not to, as he was clearly respected in the clubhouse and had an All-Star season.While injury issues have been a problem for Pederson, there is obvious confidence that these issues are in the past. If Joc Pederson is able to stay healthy and have another All-Star season, he will prove all those who doubted his worth wrong.
