On one of the busiest transactional days of the offseason, the Angels got into the mix early Tuesday evening. On an incredibly important day when 40-man rosters have to be finalized by teams and qualifying offers have to be accepted or declined by free agents, the Angels took a step towards filling up their big league roster. While Angels fans may be more excited about potential trade pieces that become available after qualifying offers are deciced on, the 40-man roster selection is equally as crucial of a deadline. And the Angels ensured one prospect's safety, as the club added prospect Walbert Urena to their 40-man roster, protecting him from being selected in the Rule 5 Draft coming up in December.
