    Cubs acquire José Quintana

    I hate the Cubs

    Was hoping they would nose dive.

    I am a die hard, born and raised Chicago sox fan and i love this trade. I thought Quintana needs to much learning with his mindset and confidence. He implodes after a couple hits. i would like to see the stats of games he pitched and how many he was pulled out by the fifth. Sox with 9 top 100 prospects? I'll take it. I wish Reinsdorf would take this approach with his circus act bulls

    Atta boy!! I'm curious to see what they're going to do with Renteria now. All we need is a bullpen and i believe that is why they are stacking so many pieces, even if we don't need them. Couple years and we will be in good standings with the right management!

    Q has been an under rated and top 10 lefty for the past handful of seasons

    should bounce back for a strong 2nd half

    There are no starting pitchers out there that are worth considering giving up a king's ransom unless deGrom or Bumgarner are put on the market. Better to bulk up the bullpens. It'll be a lot less expensive in prospects.

    not really... if it was a half season rental maybe...

    but for 3.5 years????

    if the cubs tried to buy an arm on the free agent market for 3 years next offseason that is comparable to Q, it would cost them about 75 millions for those 3 years.

    yep, definitely a factor..Quintana is good but nothing special

    I think long term the white sox get the best of this trade

    Great trade for both teams. Cubs didn't have any room for Jimenez anyway and who knows if he'll even be good. Cease could be a great pitcher...but we've heard that before. Sox have the time to give these kids a chance, Cubs already have their best young players up in the bigs and won the WS very early considering the age of their position players. Quintana solid 2-3 pitcher in the rotation and will be even that much better in a weaker hitting NL. Cubs desperately needed a starting pitching boost so it's perfect. Let's see if they can come back and win the central. Go Cubs!

    And Shocka Cubs aren't garbage, if u haven't noticed, it's kinda hard to repeat as WS champs. Happens very rarely, baseball is hard fyi. I'm a big Cubs fan, nervous about their struggles this year but it's all about getting to the playoffs and getting hot. And that's very attainable in the NL Central.

    Good move but the Cubs need a few that can get on base. Lots of power, very little OBP with the daily lineup.

    More than that. If he was a FA at year's end, he'd demand and get 5 years not 3. Probably 5/125, maybe more.

    He's put up consistent mid-3 ERA for a shitty AL team with a shitty defense. Move him to the NL with a really good defense and he could very well be sub-3 ERA over the next 3.5 seasons.

    Brewers GM David Stearns spoke with MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand in the wake of the division-rival Cubs’ blockbuster acquisition of Jose Quintana. Asked if the Brewers felt any pressure to quickly “respond” to the trade by swinging a deal of his own, Stearns suggested that he wouldn’t act so rashly. “I think that can be a little bit dangerous,” the GM explained. “We have to make moves that make the most sense for our franchise, and that’s regardless of what a particular rival or another team in our division is doing. … Obviously we’re going to continue to look at the market and see if there’s a fit for us down the road.” Stearns didn’t expressly rule out making a significant addition of his own, though his further comments to Feinsand cast some doubt on how willing he would be to part with his top tier of prospects.

    My take on Stearns is that he's not super confident in the Brewers hanging on and winning the division so he doesn't want to give up his young talent for a rental for the rest of the season when it might not make a difference anyway. He'd rather hold on to his players for the future because he obviously has an up and coming team. I can respect that. So move out of the way the Cubs are gonna make that run lol!

    When Joe Maddon met on Friday with his newest starter, Jose Quintana, the manager encouraged the left-hander to be himself and pointed out that the Cubs don't have many rules. Maddon also told Quintana this was a great opportunity to have an impact on the Cubs in the second half.

    "When you say that, some guys give you the wrong look," Maddon said. "He was very good with that thought and very comfortable with that thought. You're always concerned about who accepts pressure, and I thought he accepted it really well."

    "It's over and that's good," Quintana said of the trade rumors. "It's a fresh start. I just want to do my job and make the playoffs. I've never been to the playoffs and I have a good chance here."

    The lefty will start Sunday against the Orioles and will be the third pitcher to make starts for both the Cubs and White Sox in the same season, joining Bob Miller (1970) and Steve Renko (1977). Quintana called it a perfect trade because he didn't have to move -- he'll just be driving north from his downtown Chicago apartment to Wrigley Field, and not south.

    have future Quintana OV 11- wins. Had already written it off. Always remember him often getting little run support often. Soft tossing leftys have had problems in Wrigley. For the first time since 69 will every 5th day will root for the cubs to get OV12 wins

    Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said that he called Chicago Cubs general manager Theo Epstein to gauge interest in left-handed starting pitcher Jose Quintana after Cubs lefty Jon Lester gave up 10 runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates back on July 9, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.

    The Cubs acquired Quintana from the White Sox on July 13.

    The 28-year-old has made four starts since being traded to the defending World Series champions, going 2-1 with a 4.13 ERA and allowing 18 hits while striking out 31 batters in 24 innings of work.
