Quantrill gives a young Marlins rotation a durable veteran who has a knack for getting ground balls and isn’t far removed from a nice stretch in Cleveland from 2021-22.
FanSided's Robert Murray reports the deal is for $3.5 million and could be worth as much as $4 million.
The 30-year-old from Port Hope, Ont., spent 2024 with the Colorado Rockies and made 29 starts, pitching to a 4.98 ERA with 110 strikeouts in 148.1 innings.
Quantrill has spent the majority of his big league career with the Cleveland Guardians and turned in a 3.16 ERA during the 2021 and 2022 seasons in 72 appearances, 54 of them starts. He was one of the main pieces in the multi-player deal, along with fellow Canadian Josh Naylor, that sent Mike Clevinger to San Diego in August of 2020.
Quantrill was drafted by the Padres No. 8 overall out of Stanford in 2016 and appeared in 33 games with the team before being shipped off to Cleveland.
He owns a 4.07 ERA in his six MLB seasons.
