Zac Gallen: Rejects qualifying offer
Zac Gallen rejected the Diamondbacks' one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.The decision was anticipated, and Gallen will now seek a multi-year contract on the free-agent market. If he departs Arizona, the Diamondbacks will receive a draft pick as compensation. Gallen posted a career-worst 4.83 ERA in 2025, but he had a career 3.29 ERA with a 26.6 percent strikeout rate coming into the season. The 30-year-old should have little trouble landing a lucrative multi-year contract.

Zac Gallen: Receives qualifying offer
The Diamondbacks extended a one-year, $22.05 million qualifying offer to Zac Gallen on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.Gallen is coming off the worst season of his MLB career, with his 4.83 ERA, 15 losses, 8.2 K/9 and 1.5 HR/9 all being career worsts. Though it's unclear just how large the market will be for Gallen after a down year, he could decline the qualifying offer in hopes of securing a long-term deal ahead of his age-30 campaign. If he does so and then signs elsewhere, Arizona would receive draft compensation.

Gallen is now at a 4.84 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 157:60 K:BB through 174.2 innings over 30 starts. He's now up to 28 homers allowed this year, though he's gotten that issue largely under control with just five of those long balls coming over his last nine outings.
