After leading the SFGiants in homers in 2022, Joc Pederson will be back for another season after accepting the qualifying offer.
Pederson accepted the one-year qualifying offer on Tuesday, the MLB Players Association announced. That will keep him around for a second year in San Francisco, this time at a significantly higher salary. By accepting the qualifying offer, Pederson will make $19.65 million in 2023 and then hit free agency again next winter. Carlos Rodón, the other Giant to get a QO, turned it down, so the Giants will get a draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
Pederson signed a one-year, $6 million contract with his hometown team shortly after the lockout ended in March, and he quickly became the most dangerous hitter in the lineup. He led the Giants with 23 homers and a .874 OPS while making his second All-Star team. Pederson gave a lot of those gains back on defense, but the Giants plan to play him at DH more often in 2023 and believe there are strides he can make defensively by working on his conditioning.
The front office hopes to get more athletic and it's hard to see how the roster can hold Pederson and Tommy La Stella, along with all three left-handed-hitting outfielders: Mike Yastrzemski, LaMonte Wade Jr. and Luis Gonzalez. Bringing Pederson back also should help a bit in persuading
