The club almost certainly will make him a qualifying offer, which means he can come back for one year at a salary of about $15 million, but he's not going to be wandering around the free-agent market for three months with his hat in his hand, as he did last year. If the Orioles want to keep him, they'll probably have to offer him a multiyear deal that pays him as much or more per year than that qualifying-offer price.
