With the recent signings of 21-year-old defender Yeferson Quintana and 20-year-old midfielder Eric Calvillo, the Quakes have officially acquired nine players already this offseason, not including the recent SuperDraft selections, to replace the 11 that had departed.
Under the watch of general manager Jesse Fioranelli, technical director Chris Leitch and head scout Bruno Costa, San Jose has shown an unparalleled urgency to scout and sign players they rate highly. The team’s new regime has made it clear that they put in the work over an extended period to identify talent, thoroughly seek out new opportunities and build a large network that gets whittled down to specific targets.
