Why the Yankees Should Sign Jose Quintana

It has been yet another disappointing season for the New York Yankees. Aaron Boone and Aaron Judge along with the rest of the squad may have reached the World Series but they were so far from beating the Los Angeles Dodgers. A big issue that the team faced was their defense but it looks like pitching could also end up being a problem. Would a free agency signings be able to solve these woes? Is a certain guy from the New York Mets squad going to fix them?
The Yankees clearly need leadership in their bullpen. A lot of their pitchers have the star-level potential to breakout but it's the often uncertain trajectory of their production which worries fans. So, Jose Quintana could very well be someone that they make a move for in the coming free agency roll out.
Here us out. Clearly, the Mets pitcher is no longer in his prime but Quintana has the experience to mentor guys that are just about to find their groove. Moreover, his production on the field is also not a slouch. He reached an ERA of 3.7 in 44 starts with the Mets which is great for someone of his age.
Furthermore, Quintana understands the financial situation of most teams. The Mets are likely going to offer him to stay but only put a one-year deal on the table. This is where the Yankees could swoop in and make a competitive counter such that they could seal the deal. One of baseball's and all of sports' most popular franchises can surely afford someone like him. After all, he is worth the gamble as the first Colombian to have ever reached 100 wins throughout their career.
