always has

Quintana is quietly one of the great stories of Chicago sports but people always want to focus on what he is not. The Sox in particular should be appreciate. They picked him off the scrap heap for nothing. He developed quickly and was consistently better every single year. He was a work horse and an all star. He signed reasonable contracts because he wanted to be here and would have stayed with the Sox the entire career if they let them. When his value was maximized they converted him into two prospects that right now look absolutely fantastic and a less highly regarded one that is looking like he could be an MLB player at some point.

My guess is that after this contract is up, he will be looking to stay in Chicago with either team.

And he did it with class in a difficult situation. Easy guy to root for.

Wind blowing out. Both pitchers gave up multiple HR's. Go watch Eloy hit another AAA HR and stay out of Cub business.

Yeah but only one pitcher gave up just enough runs to lose.

Look, walking 5 batters per 9IP has nothing to do with the wind today or any other day.

Quintana has to stop walking that many guys or he will be lucky to be .500.

To put it simply...he is what he is. He will give the Cubs innings and he'll have an occasional great game, but mostly average games. He isn't changing anytime soon.

And honestly, that's good enough if Yu ever lives up to the hype.

7 IP, 1 hit, 0 runs. Not bad. Will move to 5-3 on the season (.625).

Makes up for the egg he laid last time out.

Outside of the Braves and the stinker against the Marlins I believe that he is 5-0 with a sub 2 ERA.

Cubs score 3, Q gives up 3. And so it goes.

They aren't paying him tens of millions a year, if he doesn't work out you just let him go in a few years.

Can he be killed for less than they owe on the contract?

Possibly. As long as you just push him out of the plane over the ocean, there's no body so no one can be charged, right?
