The Toronto Blue Jays have internally discussed the possibility of extending the qualifying offer to Steven Matz, according to a report.

Toronto is expected to issue qualifying offers to Marcus Semien and Robbie Ray.

After coming over in an offseason trade with the New York Mets, Matz pitched 150 2/3 innings with a 3.82 ERA.

The Miami Marlins have agreed to a contract extension with Miguel Rojas that will keep him under contract through the 2023 season.

Rojas, who had already locked in a $5.5 million salary for the 2022 season when he triggered a vesting option in September, is reportedly signing a two-year, $10 million deal.

Anthony Rizzo is scheduled to hit free agency once the season ends.

The longtime Chicago Cubs slugger has interest in returning to the New York Yankees and, according to a report, Rizzo is "eager" to re-sign with the club.

The report cites one of Rizzo's relatives as the source.

The Boston Red Sox face many decisions and obstacles heading into the offseason, including the looming decision from J.D. Martinez on his player option and the pending free agency of Eduardo Rodriguez.

The club views Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers as "cornerstone players" but when asked if they saw both players sticking in their respective positions, Alex Cora did not commit.

Bogaerts and Devers form the left side of the infield at shortstop and third base, respectively.

"There's a lot of teams out there that, yeah, Raffy Devers 'struggles defensively' but on a daily basis, you want Raffy Devers. Same things with Xander Bogaerts. Same thing with [second baseman] Christian Arroyo," Cora said. "We'll address everything we talked about. I mean it's so early, it's too soon to start digging so deep into all this stuff, but I do believe the way we ended up playing and the things that we found out as a group defensively is going to make us better not only in the offseason, but also next year."

Devers is eligible for arbitration for the first time this offseason and the front office will prioritize contract-extension talks with the 25-year-old, according to sources.

The Red Sox also face a looming crossroads with Bogaerts, who can opt out of the final three years of his six-year, $120 million contract at the end of 2022.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a huge offseason coming up after being eliminated by the Atlanta Braves in the NLCS.

The Dodgers have a host of free agents including Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, Kenley Jansen, Corey Seager and Chris Taylor.

"Yeah, absolutely," Seager said about possibly re-signing with the Dodgers. "I grew up here. I spent a lot of time here. I believe in what these guys do. I believe in how we go about it. Absolutely."

Seager, 27, hit .290/.360/.516 (131 OPS+) with 50 home runs and 8.7 Wins Above Replacement over the last three seasons.

Kyle Schwarber is expected to become a free agent this offseason after he declines a mutual option in his contract for 2022.

Schwarber was non-tendered by the Chicago Cubs last winter and then signed a one-year deal with the Washington Nationals with the option. He is open to re-signing with the Boston Red Sox after coming over in a trade.

"It'd be pretty stupid not to think about [returning]," Schwarber said. "My team here has been unbelievable. … If they feel like they would like to talk about [a new deal], I'd be all ears. I just think it would be stupid to 'X' someone off for no reason. Especially for a place like this, I'd be all ears."

Brian Cashman says that the New York Yankees intend to "address" the shortstop position this offseason.

"Shortstop is an area of need. We have to address it," Cashman said during a press conference to announce a new contract for manager Aaron Boone.

The Yankees have moved Gleyber Torres from short to second base, where he fits better defensively. Gio Urshela then took over at short.

There is a real chance Javier Baez and the New York Mets could agree on a new contract early in the offseason, according to league sources.

There remains a chance Baez could hit the open market among an impressive class of shortstops that includes Carlos Correa, Trevor Story and Corey Seager.

If the Mets make a strong offer early, Baez may be inclined to accept.

The Major League Baseball qualifying offer has dropped by $500,000 to $18.4 million.

The figure is determined by the average of the top 125 Major League contracts this year and marks only the second time that the price has fallen.

A qualifying offer can be made through the fifth day after the World Series, and a player has a week after that to accept.

If a team makes a qualifying offer to a player who signs a contract with another club before the amateur draft, his former club would receive a draft pick as compensation at the end of the first round or at the end of competitive balance round B.

The San Francisco Giants plan to exercise Buster Posey's $22 million club option for the 2022 season as long as the veteran wants to keep playing.

Posey's contract includes a $3 million buyout.

The 34-year-old helped lead the Giants to a franchise-record 107 wins and their first National League West title since 2012 this season.

"He is in our estimation the best catcher in baseball this year," Farhan Zaidi said. "Obviously want to have conversations with Buster and continue to have internal conversations about that, but having him on this team next year is a high priority."
