Story summary

New York Yankees announcer Michael Kay criticized extending a qualifying offer to Trent Grisham, noting his 34 home runs and arguing it overpays.
The offer is a one-year, $22.005 million deal, and Grisham must decide by November 18.
Projections suggest Grisham could secure a multi-year deal up to $66 million, though it may not match the annual value of the offer.
Historically, few players accept qualifying offers, so Grisham is likely to test the open market.
