the Cardinals tendered a qualifying offer, and he declined, meaning that whoever else picks him up just loses their first round pick (outside the top ten. They lose their second round pick).

More damning for Lohse is that the Cardinals, who lost Chris Carpenter already and are the only team in baseball who wouldn't lose their first round pick for signing Lohse, haven't yet signed Lohse.
