Cubs News: MLB insiders think Jose Quintana could get overpaid

Former Cubs hurler Jose Quintana could be in line for a nice payday this winter.

I would venture to say the percentage of Chicago Cubs fans who feel good about Jose Quintana and his time on the North Side is relatively small. I think that’s largely in-part to the price tag he came with back in 2017 when the Cubs sent Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease to the White Sox in order to fill a need: a reliable, cost-controlled starting pitcher.

Quintana missed virtually all of the 2020 season due to injuries, starting once and making a trio of relief appearances to round on his Cubs career.
