The Blue Jays extended a qualifying offer to Semien on Saturday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a career year, Semien will likely decline the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer and cash in with a large multi-year deal deal. The Blue Jays don't have strong internal candidates to replace Semien, so they could remain in the mix to bring him back even if he declines the offer.
