Editing Jose Quintana (section)

=== The Chicago Cubs and the 2017 Trade ===
In 2017, Quintana was traded to the Chicago Cubs in a highly publicized deal that sent several prospects to the White Sox in return. The move was part of the Cubs' attempt to bolster their starting rotation for a playoff push. Quintana joined a Cubs team that was fresh off winning the 2016 World Series and had high hopes for future postseason success.

Though his time with the Cubs was a bit mixed, Quintana remained a dependable member of their rotation. He posted a respectable 4.03 ERA over parts of four seasons with the Cubs. While his strikeout rate was not as high as some of his peers, Quintana’s control and ability to limit damage in key situations allowed him to stay effective at the major league level.
