Cal Quantrill has joined the Miami Marlins on a one-year deal worth $3.5 million, with the opportunity to earn an additional $500,000 through performance bonuses. Last season, Quantrill led the Colorado Rockies with 8 wins and posted a 4.98 ERA over 29 starts, showing resilience after a limited season in 2023 due to injury. Prior to his time with Colorado, he spent four years with the Cleveland Guardians, where he excelled with a 3.58 ERA in 99 games.

The Marlins are optimistic about bolstering their rotation, especially with the anticipated return of ace Sandy Alcántara from Tommy John surgery. The departure of Jesús Luzardo to Philadelphia and Braxton Garrett's season-ending surgery highlight the need for stable pitching, making Quantrill's signing a crucial move for Miami's playoff aspirations.
