Yankees extended David Bednar the qualifying offer but Joel Sherman expects him to decline #shorts

Joel Sherman sees different priorities on either side of David Bednar's contract decision: the Yankees can offer a lucrative season without a lengthy commitment, while the reliever has reason to seek something that lasts.

In New York Post Sports' Short, Sherman reports that Bednar received a qualifying offer and predicts he will turn it down to pursue a multiyear deal. That is a forecast, not an announced departure. The description points to the Mets' deal with Devin Williams as a possible model for Bednar's next contract.

The offer would pay roughly $23 million for a season. Sherman argues that the Yankees would rather accept that high annual price than commit for longer, even with a bullpen he describes as being in a desperate position. Bednar's successful pitching and postseason appearance with the team form part of his assessment of the reliever's market.

The contract discussion drew about 45,000 views in its first day, far beyond the channel's usual Shorts audience. The comments were also much busier than usual. Several viewers press for the Yankees to retain Bednar; one asks a useful question about the distinction at the heart of the clip: could they still negotiate a multiyear contract if he rejects this offer?

Sherman also contrasts Bednar's situation with Jazz Chisholm Jr., who did not receive a qualifying offer. His assessment of Chisholm centers on the gap between talent and execution, arguing that focus and fundamentals have made his Yankees tenure frustrating.

What viewers say

If Bednar rejects the 1 year qualifying offer, they can still offer him a multi-year deal can't they?

They have to sign Bednar

I would not be surprised if the Yankees offer him to decline the offer and accept a multi-year deal with them. The draft pick attached gives them a slight leg up in the market. Not a huge one, but enough that I think they'll try.
