The Angels finally addressed their starting rotation this offseason, reportedly agreeing to terms with left-hander Jose Quintana one a one-year, $8 million contract, per multiple reports.
Quintana had nearly his entire 2020 season by a pair of injuries, first missing six weeks with a lacerated thumb, then missing three weeks in September with lat inflammation. When he pitched, three of his four games were in bulk relief, and he posted a 4.50 ERA (and 2.99 FIP) in all of 10 innings, with 12 strikeouts and three walks.
Prior to last year, Quintana was one of the most durable pitchers in baseball, starting 31 or more games for seven consecutive seasons (2013-19), averaging 193 innings per year for the White Sox and Cubs.
