Out for a “significant stretch”. Per Mike Puma. More details to follow.

Well, that didn't take long.

I suspect he wouldn't have been that much better than Tylor Megill, who'll likely replace him in the rotation. It does put the first dent in the pitching depth, though. So that sucks.

He can't throw for 6 to 8 weeks and then can start a ST program.
Quintana is available and likely inexpensive.

High-grade lat strain, PRP injection.

Or, since they had been lined up to open the season with a six-man rotation, they may well opt not to replace him in the rotation — at least initially — but to instead add a reliever.

You could get Jose Quintana right now for less than a Kamala Harris tee shirt I reckon

This might win the Mets three or four more games.

This made me laugh. And clean your finger nail, this place is
about to get busy again in the coming days...

Not sure why they signed Montas in the first place; he's not that good.

I'd love Cease, but I think SD's asking price just went up a tick. I wouldn't be against a Quintana reunion.

I thought the Montas signing was fraught with risk

I'd like to see Quintana back but I don't see that happening

You don't want to become close to relying on Blackburn or Canning for all that much

Addition by subtraction.

For whatever it's worth, and it probably isn't much, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com is reporting that an unnamed source says there's mutual interest between the Mets and Quintana.

I hope it's true, but I'll have more confidence when I hear it from someone who's not a suspected AI bot.

Saw the same report on Metsmerized.com.
Then I noticed they were quoting the same SI source.

Waiting for corroboration.

I say we bring Quintana back. He'll come cheap and except for that injury in his first year, he pitched pretty well for us. I just don't see Holmes as a starter.

An analytics view of why they're not pursuing Quintana.
While Quintana's 3.18 second-half ERA was solid, he might have gotten a bit lucky, as evidenced by his 3.89 FIP and his .269 BAbip. While Quintana undoubtedly pitched well, the batted ball luck skewed in his favor making him a possible regression candidate.

Overall, Quintana had a very solid 3.75 ERA in 31 starts and 170.1 innings of work, but he had a 4.56 FIP and a 4.52 xERA. Again, he was good, but might have been a bit lucky too. It's really hard to bet on luck.

Going with Megill, Blackburn or Canning? Now THAT's betting on luck.

This team will hit, but the pitching is going to be ugly.

I don’t think it will be ugly. Senga, Manaea, and Peterson are all solid. The other two spots are question marks.
