Veteran southpaw Jose Quintana will never get a fair shake in Wrigleyville. With each passing year, that becomes more the case as former Chicago Cubs prospects Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease garner more and more attention as members of the crosstown rival Chicago White Sox.
A tough end to the 2019 campaign left a sour taste in fans’ mouths when it came to Quintana. In five starts over the season’s final month, the lefty allowed 37 hits across 18 2/3 innings of work. Opponents torched him, hitting .402 during that span – hardly a sustainable mark at any level.
