    While right-handed pitcher has entered free agency, Milwaukee did give Woodruff qualifying offer as he was one of 13 MLB players to get one.

    The Milwaukee Brewers gave right-handed pitcher Brandon Woodruff a qualifying offer on Thursday, one of 13 MLB players to receive one from their respective teams.

    After the qualifying offers were released, ESPN MLB reporter Jeff Passan posted a list of them all on X.

    Players who received qualifying offers on Thursday.

    When Woodruff declined his half of a $20 million mutual option with the Brewers on Monday, according to Brewers Roundtable reporter Anthony Arroyo, it meant that he would receive a $10 million buyout. 

    Now that Woodruff has received a qualifying offer from the Brewers, he will have some time to consider his next move.

    Milwaukee Brewers beat reporter Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Thursday, in a post on X, that the Brewers "extended a qualifying offer to right-hander Brandon Woodruff. If he accepts, it will be worth 1 year and $22 million. If not, the Brewers will receive draft compensation if he signs with a different team."

    Woodruff can either accept or reject the team's offer by 3 p.m. Central Time on November 18th.   

    In eight seasons in Milwaukee, Woodruff posted a 3.10 ERA. 

    Want a few more statistics about Woodruff? The X account Louis Analysis posted some data back in late October about him. 

    "Brandon Woodruff is the only starting pitcher to rank in the 99th% xBA, rank in the 99th% xwOBA, rank in the 97th% xSLG, and rank in the 100th% xOBP.t.

    Additionally, Woodruff "ranks in the 90th% or higher in K% (94th% w/32.3%) and BB% (91st% w/ 5.4%). And this after not pitching for nearly two years."

    Now, Brew Crew fans wait to see what happens with Woodruff. His decision might make things a bit more interesting in the Brewers' pitching plans for the 2026 MLB season.
