Colorado has had an active Tuesday, agreeing earlier in the day with right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano to a one-year pact after he spent last year pitching in Japan.<\/p>\n

Quintana, after spending two seasons with the Mets, joined the Brewers in the middle of spring training<\/a> for 2025.<\/p>\n

He gave the Brewers some stability in the back end of the rotation with a 3.96 ERA and 1.291 WHIP across 24 starts and 131 2\/3 innings. Quintana pitched in two postseason outings, a three-inning scoreless effort in relief during the NLDS against the Cubs before getting lit up for three earned runs in a two-inning start against the eventual World Series champion Dodgers in the NLCS.<\/p>\n

Quintana, through his first 14 seasons in the big leagues, has 113 victories, the most for a native of Colombia.<\/p>\n

At high altitude (5,200 feet above sea level), Coors Field has long been a hitters\u2019 haven and has had the top park factor in MLB over the last three seasons, according to Baseball Savant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In six career outings at Coors, Quintana has a 5.40 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 42 innings.<\/p>\n

Quintana is expected to pitch for his home country in March<\/a> as part of the 2026 World Baseball Classic before he takes the mound in Denver.<\/p>\n

The Rockies are hoping to get out of the National League doldrums after three straight seasons of 100-plus losses, including a baseball-worst 119 defeats in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jose Quintana has found a new home \u2014 just not one that\u2019s historically pitcher-friendly.
