BALTIMORE (AP) Jose Quintana didn’t have to travel far when he was traded from the Chicago White Sox to the Cubs.
However, he understands the expectations are worlds apart.
Entering Friday, the Cubs (43-45) trailed Milwaukee by 5 + games in the National League Central. The Cubs believe Quintana, an All-Star last season, can help get them back on track as they try to defend their World Series title, which ended 108 years of frustration last fall.
”I said one day I want to be here,” said Quintana, who will make his Cubs debut Sunday against the Orioles at Camden Yards.
