Reports: Rockies Reach 1-Year Deal with LHP Jose Quintana
The Rockies added Quintana for his veteran pitching, command, and mentorship to improve a rotation that had a 6.65 ERA last season, the highest since 1913.

- After a 119-loss season, the Rockies' rotation produced a 6.65 ERA—the worst since 1913, prompting offseason reinforcements, including veteran Jose Quintana.
- On paper, his arsenal includes a four-seam fastball and sinker averaging about 91 mph, with a 6% strikeout rate and 11-7 record in 24 starts last season.
- The Rockies have committed just over $19.1 million to their starting pitchers as spring training begins Thursday at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Arizona, with Quintana needing guile at Coors Field.
- Given his declining strike metrics, the pitcher’s 6.9% swinging-strike rate and 6% strikeout rate were career lows last season, highlighting performance risks.
