At one point, it looked like the Sox would give a QO to at least one pitcher and to JD. Now, it looks like they may hand out none.
If they give out a QO to Nate or Wacha and the player takes it, there will be blowback. If they don't give out any QO's, there will be blowback. Personally, I don't think any of those 3 are worth $20M per or whatever the QO is.
