Another offseason deadline looms for the Angels, as they must decide whether to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players by Friday at 5 p.m. PT.
Players who are tendered contracts will have several weeks to negotiate new deals with the Angels before salary figures are exchanged in January, while those that are non-tendered will become free agents.
Nine Angels are eligible for arbitration this winter, and most of the decisions should be fairly straightforward. Left-handers Tyler Skaggs, Andrew Heaney and Jose Alvarez, and right-handers Blake Parker, Cam Bedrosian, Nick Tropeano and Hansel Robles are likely to be tendered contracts.
