With the Angels preparing for the offseason, fans are still waiting to find out who will be guiding the clubhouse next season. While Perry Minasian is returning there is still a complete lack of direction in Anaheim between him and owner Arte Moreno, especially with manager right now. However, it’s never too early to look into how the offseason will play out, and a huge part of that is the qualifying offer.
Qualifying offers are a staple of the offseason -- teams are allowed to offer one would-be free agent a qualifying offer (reportedly valued at ~$22 million this off season), and in return receive draft pick compensation if that player signs elsewhere.
