Brewers Decline Option on Jose Quintana on Tuesday
The Milwaukee Brewers declined their $15 million mutual option on left-hander Jose Quintana on Tuesday, making him a free agent, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. Quintana will be given a $2 million buyout and will be free to sign with any MLB team this offseason. The 36-year-old veteran southpaw only struck out 89 hitters in 131 2/3 innings in 2025 with the Brew Crew, but he managed to go 11-7 with a decent 3.96 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 50 walks over 24 starts during the regular season. Quintana's 4.81 FIP indicates he was very fortunate to have an ERA under 4.00, though, and his market most likely won't be very robust this winter. At best, he's a back-end starter for a big-league rotation at this stage of his career, and his lack of strikeout upside makes him pretty unattractive for fantasy purposes outside of deep leagues.
