The Milwaukee Brewers have officially signed veteran left-handed pitcher José Quintana to a two-year contract that runs through the 2025 MLB season. Club President of Baseball Operations David Stearns announced the deal, stating, ‘We believe José brings a wealth of experience and a competitive edge to our pitching staff.’ Quintana, 35, has had a storied career and was notably a longtime nemesis of the Brewers during his time with the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but reports suggest it could be worth around $26 million.
Last season, Quintana achieved an impressive record of 14 wins against just 6 losses with a 3.25 ERA while splitting time between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets. His ability to pitch deep into games and a consistent performance on the mound were major factors in the Brewers’ decision to secure his services. ‘I am excited to join the Brewers and compete for a championship,’ Quintana said. He will slot into the Brewers’ rotation alongside established pitchers including Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff, significantly bolstering their pitching depth as they eye a playoff run in the upcoming season. Quintana’s signing is also seen as a strategic move to reduce the chances of a reunion with the Mets, positioning the Brewers as a formidable team in the National League Central division.
