Correct!
Only 14 Major League Baseball free agents have ever accepted the one year qualifying offer, and five of them are current or former members of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Name as many as you can.

Kirby Yates.
Signed as a free agent on a one year deal for $5.5 Million in 2021, Yates pitched two innings in spring training for the Jays before requiring Tommy John Surgery.
Dave Winfield.
During the 1994 baseball strike, which began on August 12, Winfield was traded by the Minnesota Twins to the Cleveland Indians at the trade waiver deadline on August 31 for a player to be named later. The 1994 season had been halted two weeks earlier (it was eventually canceled a month later on September 14), so Winfield did not get to play for the Indians that year and no player was ever named in exchange. To settle the trade, Cleveland and Minnesota executives went to dinner, with the Indians picking up the tab. This makes Winfield the only player in major league history to be "traded" for a dinner (although official sources list the transaction as Winfield having been sold by the Twins to the Indians).
Gene Conley.
Conley played Major League Baseball in 1952 and 1954-63 and in the NBA in 1952-53, 1958 - 61 and 1962-64. In 1959, Conley was a member of the NBA Champion Boston Celtics, and was named to both 1959 Baseball All-Star games, as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Conley was also a member of the 1957 World Series Championship Milwaukee Braves team, and he is the only person to win championships in two of the four major American sports .
Who am I?
I had a twenty year career in Major League Baseball, with slightly less than 51% of my regular season games played for American League teams.
I won Rookie of the Year, one World Series Championship, and four Gold Gloves.
I was a switch hitter, and a nine time All Star.
I am not a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Among Major League Baseball players with 300 or more career stolen bases, I have the highest lifetime success percentage.
I played in all 162 games in one of my seasons, and in 150 or more games seven times, including my rookie season.
In seven post seasons, playing for five different teams, I had a .609 Slugging Percentage and a 1.021 OPS in 256 plate appearances.
