The Los Angeles Angels, desperate to add the initial release, on Tuesday agreed to a $ 8 million one-year contract with left-wing veteran Jose Quintana, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Quintana, who previously took office with current Angels manager Joe Maddon with the Chicago Cubs, was limited to just 10 innings in 2020, primarily due to thumb surgery. Prior to that, the 31-year-old averaged 32 starts between 2013 and 2019, adding up to an ERA of 3.72 with a strike rate of 3.23 on foot.
Quintana joins a rotation that includes Andrew Heaney, Dylan Bundy, Griffin Canning and potentially Shohei Ohtani, standing somewhere near the top.
Quintana is the fifth addition in a year by first-year general manager Perry Minasian, after the short film Jose Iglesias, closer to Raisel Iglesias, catcher Kurt Suzuki and left-handed reliever Alex Claudio. They will combine to earn $ 23.25 million in 2021.
