The big decision looming for the Angels this weekend was whether or not they would extend the qualifying offer to closer Raisel Iglesias, and by the time Sunday’s 2 PM deadline rolled around, the club announced that they had indeed done exactly that.
The Angels have extended a qualifying offer to RHP Raisel Iglesias.

The official value for the qualifying offer this season is $18.4 million, and Iglesias has until November 17 to either accept or decline it. The Angels can still attempt to bring Iglesias back on a multi-year deal even if he does end up declining it, and if he declines it and signs elsewhere, they would receive a draft pick immediately following Competitive Balance Round B in next year’s draft as compensation.
