According to recent reports, outfielder Tyler O’Neill of the St. Louis Cardinals and pitcher Nick Pivetta of the Boston Red Sox are both considered “long shots” to receive qualifying offers from their respective teams this offseason.
O’Neill, who has shown flashes of brilliance but has struggled with injuries, may not fit into the Cardinals’ long-term plans as they look to reshape their roster. Meanwhile, Pivetta, a versatile arm for the Red Sox, has had an up-and-down season, leading the team to reportedly consider other options for the future.
Both players could enter free agency without the added burden of a qualifying offer, making them more attractive to potential suitors. The news comes as both teams are assessing their offseason strategies and roster needs ahead of the 2024 season.
