Cal Quantrill DFA’d — Exploring the avenues of the move

Cal Quantrill seemed to have all the potential in the world of being an efficient innings-eating, back of the rotation arm for the Guardians coming into 2023. Much like the season for Cleveland, however, that was not the case, and on Tuesday, Quantrill was designated for assignment along with Michael Kelly to clear room for Daniel Espino, a highly touted pitching prospect whose injury history could make the easiest stomach queasy, and Cade Smith, a high strikeout, high walk rate reliever.
