Marlins Sign Quantrill with Performance Bonuses

The Miami Marlins have signed right-hander Cal Quantrill to a one-year, $3.5 million major league contract, with potential performance bonuses of up to $500,000. Quantrill, who pitched for the Colorado Rockies last season with an 8-11 record and a 4.98 ERA, will bring veteran experience to a young Marlins pitching rotation. He has a career record of 43-34 with a 4.07 ERA, having previously played for the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Guardians, and Rockies. The Marlins are in a rebuilding phase and hope Quantrill can provide stability, especially with ace Sandy Alcantara returning from Tommy John surgery. His signing comes as the Marlins seek to improve a rotation that struggled in 2024, finishing 29th in ERA. Quantrill's past success in Cleveland, where he posted a 3.16 ERA in 2021-2022, adds to his potential value for Miami.
