The Chicago Cubs acquired starting pitcher Jose Quintana from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor leaguers Eloy Jimenez, Dylan Cease, Bryant Flete and Matt Rose. While Jimenez and Cease are top prospects, Flete and Rose are rather unknowns in the Cubs’ system.
Flete, 24, joined the Cubs as a non-drafted free agent in 2012. While he has experienced some success in the minor leagues, he has yet to play above Double-A. In 432 minor league games, he owns a career .260 batting average.
He has moved around the diamond during his six seasons after originally being signed as a shortstop.
