Pablo Sandoval has rejected the San Francisco Giants' $15.3 million qualifying offer and will test free agency, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.

Sandoval was one of several big-name offers to receive a qualifying offer Monday. Detroit made the offers to pitcher Max Scherzer and first baseman-designated hitter Victor Martinez, and Pittsburgh to left-hander Francisco Liriano and catcher Russell Martin.

Also receiving offers were shortstop Hanley Ramirez (Los Angeles Dodgers), outfielder Nelson Cruz (Baltimore), right-hander James Shields (Kansas City), closer David Robertson (New York Yankees), outfielder Melky Cabrera (Toronto), pitcher Ervin Santana (Atlanta) and outfielder Michael Cuddyer (Colorado).
