SAN DIEGO — Before leaving the Winter Meetings, the Mets made another signing that may not complete their rotation shopping but at least brought it much closer to finished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The team and Jos\u00e9 Quintana agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $26 million, a source with knowledge of the deal said. The club has not yet confirmed it because it is pending a physical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Once the deal becomes official, it will give the Mets a starting five of Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Quintana, Carlos Carrasco and either David Peterson or Tylor Megill. And the team may not be done shopping in that department. The Mets have been heavily linked to Japanese starter Kodai Senga, who would slot after Scherzer and Verlander if New York is able to sign him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Quintana, who will turn 34 in January, is coming off a resurgent 2022 season, going from a $2 million deal with the Pirates in November ’21 to starting Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series for the Cardinals 11 months later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In between, the veteran left-hander recorded a 2.93 ERA with 137 strikeouts over 165 2\/3 innings, including a 2.01 ERA in 12 starts after Pittsburgh sent him to St. Louis in a four-player deal at the Trade Deadline. It was a strong bounce-back effort for a pitcher who recorded a 5.13 ERA in 244 innings from 2019-21 with the Cubs, Angels and Giants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A native of Arjona, Colombia, Quintana earned his lone All-Star selection with the White Sox in 2016, the last in a streak of four straight 200-inning seasons. He produced a 3.35 ERA over that span.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The White Sox traded Quintana to the Cubs the following season in a deal that brought Dylan Cease and Eloy Jim\u00e9nez to the South Side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
More than anything, Quintana offers a consistent source of innings for a club badly in need of them. In addition to throwing over 200 innings in a season four times, Quintana has mustered at least 165 innings eight times in the past 10 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In addition to starting pitching, the Mets are still looking to fill out their bullpen with multiple relievers and to acquire an outfielder — either Brandon Nimmo or someone like him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
