The Pittsburgh Pirates have extended a qualifying offer to infielder Brandon Lowe, a move reported on November 4, 2026. The decision arrives amid conflicting projections about Lowe's potential contract value on the free-agent market.
Lowe, who hit a solo home run against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on September 26, 2026, has been a key contributor for Pittsburgh. The qualifying offer gives the Pirates draft-pick compensation if Lowe signs with another team.
