Quantrill’s Recent Performance
Quantrill went 8-11 with a 4.98 ERA over 29 starts with Colorado last season. He led the club in wins and ranked third on the pitching staff in starts, innings, and strikeouts (110). It was his most starts since 2022 with Cleveland, after making only 19 starts in 2023.
Quantrill’s Career Highlights
Selected by San Diego with the eighth pick in the 2016 amateur draft, Quantrill has spent most of his big league career with Cleveland, where he went 27-15 with a 3.58 ERA in 99 games over four seasons. He led the Guardians with 32 starts in 2022 while setting career highs in innings (186 1/3), strikeouts (128), and wins (15).
Adding Depth to the Marlins’ Rotation
Quantrill adds depth to a rotation that hopes to be boosted by the expected return of ace Sandy Alcántara from Tommy John surgery. Last season’s opening-day starter, Jesús Luzardo, was traded to Philadelphia in December, and left-hander Braxton Garrett will miss the season after a left elbow UCL revision repair with internal brace surgery.
Room on the 40-Man Roster
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Marlins placed Garrett on the 60-day injured list.
Conclusion
The signing of Quantrill provides the Marlins with a experienced right-hander to bolster their rotation. With the expected return of Sandy Alcántara and the addition of Quantrill, the Marlins’ rotation looks to be shaping up well for the upcoming season.
