: 一旦母隊提供qualifying offer,球員將有兩種選擇:
: 第一是接受母隊的一年合約,
: 第二是拒絕並尋求其它合約.
: 如果球員拒絕母隊的offer並與其他球隊簽約,
: 新球隊將被迫放棄首輪選秀權給該球員的母隊.

: 球隊在簽下符合(但拒絕)qualifying offer的球員時必須放棄首輪.
: 然而這首輪若是在前10順位將會受到保護,改讓出第二指名.
: 母隊將得到額外補償:首輪結束後二輪開始前的三明治選秀權.
這邊原文有誤，現在已經修正如下：
‧Once a team makes a qualifying offer, the player has two choices: he can
accept the one-year deal or decline in it search of other offers. If he
declines the offer and signs elsewhere, his new team will have to surrender
a top draft pick (the selection doesn't go to the player's former team).
球員拒絕母隊的 qualifying offer 並與其他球隊簽約，新球隊將被沒收最高順位
選秀權。
‧Teams that sign free agents who turned down qualifying offers will
surrender their first round picks. However, the forfeited picks don't
go to other MLB teams. Instead, the first round simply becomes condensed.
被沒收的順位，會直接消失，不會給母球隊。順位直接向上遞補。
‧The first ten selections in the draft are protected. Teams with protected
picks will surrender their second-highest selections.
前 10 順位受到保護不會被沒收，改為沒收第二高的選秀權。
‧The player’s former team will receive its compensatory selection at
the end of the first round. Teams now obtain one compensatory selection,
instead of two.
母隊的補償順位在第一輪結束後(以前三明治的位子)，現在只會獲得 1 個補償，
而不是 2 個。
另外，http://goo.gl/uHbfi 這邊提到
”The former Clubs will select based on reverse order of winning percentage
　from the prior championship season.”
　補償順位的排序是看前一例行賽季的勝率，勝率越差順位越高。(跟以前一樣)
: 紅襪是很有可能對老爹提qualifying offer,
: 不過若有其它球隊提供複數年但平均年薪不如qualifying offer的約,
: 假設是保障四年40M這樣,或許老爹會考慮到年紀,
: 選擇四年40M而拒絕紅襪的qualifying offer,那紅襪也可以取得補償選秀.
這邊有個問題，在 qualifying offer 接受截止日之前，其他球隊應該還無法報價。
