The Milwaukee Brewers have signed starting pitcher Jose Quintana of Arjona, Colombia to a one-year deal worth $4.25 million according to Darragh McDonald of MLB Trade Rumors. Quintana, who pitched last year for the New York Mets, becomes the second pitcher to join the Brewers this season, who pitched for a New York based ball club in 2024. He follows Nestor Cortes of Surgidero de Batabano, Cuba, who pitched last year for the New York Yankees.
