Should the Cubs re-sign Jose Quintana?

I know, I know. You hate this trade, you’ve hated this trade from the beginning, it’s one of the worst in Cubs history...

Seriously, none of that could have been known at the time the Jose Quintana trade was made. Yes, Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease were really good prospects at the time (the other two players included turned out to be irrelevant), but Quintana had been a solid 4 bWAR starter for the White Sox for five seasons and at age 28 when the deal was made, seemed like a lock to do something similar with the Cubs.
