Fowler turned down the Cubs' qualifying offer Friday and will remain a free agent, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler suffered a bit of a dip in average but enjoyed a resurgence in his power and speed en route to hitting 17 homers and swiping 20 bases. He'll be 30 by the start of the 2016 season but should still command a multi-year deal on the free agent market and the Cubs will get a compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
