José Quintana, once part of the Yankees farm system but largely overlooked, ultimately found success as a reliable No. 2 starter for the White Sox. After failing to secure a spot on the Yankees' 40-man roster, he opted for free agency and developed his skills. His impactful years from 2013 to 2016 could have significantly strengthened the Yankees' rotation. However, during this period, the Yankees were not championship contenders, which lessened the sting of losing Quintana to free agency.
Quintana's journey from the Yankees' overlooked prospect to becoming a reliable No. 2 starter for the White Sox highlights missed opportunities for the Yankees.
Despite not being a highly-regarded prospect, Quintana's development into a solid pitcher raises questions about the Yankees' scouting and player development.
