Angels has a free-agent contract with a left-hander Jose Quintana, Physical left, Ken Rosenthal of Athletic Reports. That’s a one-year, MM 8mm contract for the Washerman client, per Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports.
Quintana was one of the most successful innings eaters available at the free agency, as the 31-year-old has thrown 1,495 frames of 3.73 ERA / 3.99 CIRA balls between the White Sox and the Cubs since his career began in 2012. Of course, part of a good Quinta’s career has been spent with Angels manager Joe Madden, who captained the Cubs, while Southpaw left for the club in 2017-19. Madden was with the Angels last season, while Quinta missed most of the year with toe problems. He made just one start and 10 innings in his final season in Chicago.
Last year’s injury issues seem inconsistent for Quintana, who entered the season with seven straight campaigns of 170-plus innings. It’s the same kind of durability that Angels has lacked in recent years. They have battled injuries in their rotation on the way to a six-season run without a playoff berth, but a healthy Quintana could help turn their fortunes around in 2021.
Along with Quintana, Angels will also feature Dylan Bundy, Andrew Heaney And Griffin Canning In the top four of their rotation next season. Two-way player Shohi Ohtani And Jaime Baria But there are plenty of start-up figures for the club, although new general manager Perry Minassian will not be able to address that part of the Angels roster.
