The offseason has been nothing short of extraordinary for the New York Mets. The team appears to be in excellent shape following several key acquisitions during the current market period. Additionally, they are reportedly still in the conversation when it comes to signing more players in free agency, with potential new talent heading to New York.

MLB insider Hector Gomez reports that the Mets have expressed interest in Colombian pitcher and former Milwaukee Brewers player, Jose Quintana. As the team seeks to enhance their pitching rotation, Quintana has emerged as a viable option.

Quintana’s presence in the 2023 and 2024 seasons could be a pivotal factor for the Mets, as they aim to strengthen their roster in preparation for the upcoming season. His addition would provide much-needed depth.

While Quintana posted solid numbers with the Brewers last season, they weren’t compelling enough for Milwaukee to retain him for the coming season. Nonetheless, circumstances may change as the Mets are not the only team interested in securing the Colombian pitcher’s services.
