2024 Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Coming off an excellent showing in 2022 between Pittsburgh and St. Louis, Quintana signed on with the Mets last winter and was supposed to be part of their big push into championship contention under new owner Steve Cohen. Nothing can ever be simple for the Mets, though, and the veteran southpaw was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the fifth rib on his left side just after arriving at spring training. He wound up missing the entire first half of the 2023 season as New York finished in fourth place in the NL East with a record of 73-86. Quintana pitched well when healthy, delivering a 3.57 ERA with 60 strikeouts across 75.2 innings, and it stands to reason that he'd have better luck on the health front in 2024. It'll be his age-35 campaign, however, and the overall excitement of what he can bring to Queens has certainly waned. Read Past Outlooks
Garners Opening Day nod
The Mets announced Wednesday that Quintana will start the team's season opener March 28 versus the Brewers at Citi Field.
ANALYSIS
Quintana became the logical choice for the Opening Day nod after Kodai Senga (shoulder) went down with an injury earlier in spring training that will likely cost him at least the first month of the season. Though he'll be functioning as the de facto staff ace to begin the campaign, the 35-year-old Quintana profiles as more of a mid-rotation or back-end arm at this stage of his career. The southpaw missed all of the first half of the 2023 season with a fractured rib, but he was a dependable innings eater upon returning after the All-Star break, pitching to a 3.57 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 60:24 K:BB across 75.2 frames.

That came out of nowhere -- Quintana enjoyed a career year in 2022 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 137:47 K:BB across 165.2 innings between the Cardinals and the Pirates. Pitching in the NL Central surely has its upside, but the left-hander has never been that sharp. He was helped by a 0.4 HR/9 and a 2.6 BB/9, though his 7.4 K/9 rate was his lowest since 2013. He got a two-year, $26 million deal from the Mets to be a back-end starter, which is about as good of a landing spot as we could have hoped for. Even so, fantasy managers should know it's risky to make a big investment on a player that defied his aging curve so significantly a year ago. Quintana could still end up being solid, but be prepared to bake in a large helping of regression on draft day. League-average is likely a best-case scenario.
