The qualifying offer was to ensure that the Rangers would receive a compensatory pick if he signed elsewhere. The $14 million offer expired when Cruz didn't accept it within 7 days. There were talks of a one year $7 or 8 million deal after his deal with Seattle fell through right before spring training, but the Rangers decided to pass.
