Baltimore offered Burnes a $21.05 million qualifying offer Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Barnes is unlikely to accept the offer, but if he opts to sign with another team, the Orioles would receive draft compensation. Burnes signed a one-year deal with the Orioles in January after spending the previous seven years in the Brewers' organization. He finished the 2024 regular season with a 15-9 record over 32 starts with a 2.92 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 181:48 K:BB across 194.1 innings.
