mentioned, the player who the Brewers received in return has yet to appear in a game professionally. 17 year old Pedro Quintana was an international signee by the Mets during the most recent period, inking with the team just a few month ago in January out of Venezuela. The Brewers do heavily scout and sign players from that country, so it’s quite likely they are a bit more familiar with Quintana and his future outlook than the general public is at this time. At this point, it looks at best like a lottery ticket that could pay off years down the road, which isn’t a bad return for a DFA’d outfielder. https://www.brewcrewball.com/2021/5/26/22454486/milwaukee-brewers-deal-billy-mckinney-to-the-new-york-mets-for-teenage-lefty-pedro-quintana
