OK, maybe that title is not completely fair. After all, the door was already open a little bit with a pair of “opener” starts at the end of last season, and the increased workload he took on down the stretch. But with Carlos Carrasco now a Met it seems logical that 25-year-old Cal Quantrill will be a full-time starting pitcher for Cleveland next year.
He’s not a lock, though. As it stands now, the top of the rotation should be set in stone with Shane Bieber, Zach Plesac, and Aaron Civale in some order. After that, Triston McKenzie figures to be the No.
