David Bednar Weighs $23.15 Million Qualifying Offer From New York Yankees

New York Yankees closer David Bednar faces a Tuesday deadline to accept or reject the team's $23.15 million qualifying offer. Rebuilding the bullpen remains a top priority for general manager Brian Cashman ahead of the impending December 1 lockout deadline. Bednar's decision stands as the next major domino for New York's relief corps following the re-signing of lefty Tim Hill, with Brent Headrick currently the only other lock for 2027.
