The Diamondbacks extended a one-year, $22.05 million qualifying offer to Gallen on Thursday,

Analysis
Gallen is coming off the worst season of his MLB career. His 4.83 ERA, 15 losses, 8.2 K/9 and 1.5 HR/9 were all career worsts. The right-hander turns 30 next August. Though it's unclear just how large the market will be for Gallen after a down year, he could decline the qualifying offer in hopes of securing a long-term deal. If he goes elsewhere, Arizona would receive draft compensation.
