Guardians, ace Bieber agree to $6 million contract for 2022
Cleveland Guardians ace Shane Bieber avoided salary arbitration when he agreed to a $6 million, one-year contractMARCH 23, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Avoids arbitration Quantrill signed a one-year, $2.51 million deal with the Guardians on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Quantrill recorded a 2.89 ERA last season, but it took some good luck in the form of a .267 BABIP and an 80.0 percent strand rate to get him there. He struck out just 19.6 percent of opposing batters, and while his 7.6 percent walk rate was better than average, that combination doesn't typically add up to an ERA below 3.00. He's locked into a rotation spot this season after spending part of last year in the bullpen, but a repeat of last year's performance seems unlikely.

Indians leave name behind as injury-riddled season ends
The Indians' final season as the Indians ended sooner than fans hopedOCTOBER 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Won't start again in 2021 Quantrill will not start during the team's weekend series against Kansas City, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
Impact Quantrill last started Monday, so he would have lined up to take the ball in the team's final game of the season Sunday. However, Aaron Civale will draw the start in his place as the team looks to build up his innings after he dealt with a sprained finger that cost him over two months of game action. Quantrill ends the season with a strong 2.89 ERA and 1.18 WHIP while racking up 121 strikeouts across 149.2 frames.

Otherwise, Quantrill was brilliant, pitching into the seventh inning for the sixth outing in a row. The right-hander will carry a 2.82 ERA and 1.18 WHIP into his next turn on the mound.

Logs quality start Wednesday Quantrill (6-3) went 6.2 innings Wednesday, allowing three unearned runs on two hits and three walks to earn the win against Minnesota. He had four strikeouts.
Impact The 26-year-old put together six scoreless frames before giving up a three-run homer to Miguel Sano in the seventh. The runs were all unearned, however, due to a Bobby Bradley fielding error two batters earlier that had extended the inning. It was the second straight quality start and second win in a row for Quantrill, who has put together a 2.89 ERA and 110:45 K:BB in 137 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Royals at home in his next scheduled start.
