Might be a legit prospect (scouts will know) but might be the piece that got the Padres to take Cortes (and his contract) ... MILW always wants to shed money.
Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 12 prospect in the 2024 international class, the 6-foot-2 switch-hitter impressed scouts with his all-around polish, especially at the plate. He has good bat-to-ball skills from both sides, and while the power mostly plays to the gaps at this early stage, there’s room for projection and eventual average pop once he matures physically.
18 and played in the ACL this season.
MLBPipeline dropped Quintana into the #16 prospect slot for the Padres ... not sure how much of that is Quintana and how much is a reflection of the remaining prospect in the system but at least he appears to have some upside at age 18.

Also have to remember at times like this, if Mason Miller’s stays healthy, he could always be traded to bring back prospect capital.
Especially if being converted back to a starter. Imagine two years from now if he’s a great starter and we need to move him we may get as good, or better back than we gave.
Like the Soto deal…only different.
