QO makes sense to me if you're the Dodgers. He's coming off a 4.0 fWAR season, but probably doesn't have the track record to turn it down. It could also be gamesmanship, hoping that they can use that carrot to get him to sign a 3-year/$45M deal to guarantee more money with less of an annual CBT hit. They had so many issues with health in their rotation, and I don't think they balk at spending ~$20M on just a one-year deal to bring back a pitcher who can get them over until Walker Buehler is back.
