How are former Angels players faring during the MLB playoffs?

Jose Iglesias, José Quintana

Iglesias did not provide a massive offensive spark against Milwaukee, going 2/14 with two singles, three Ks, two runs scored, and an RBI. The journeyman infielder was the definition of a "spark plug" for the Mets once he was promoted on the last day of May. Iglesias' calling card is his glove, and his defense and versatility have been stellar in both the playoffs and regular season. Iglesias earned icon status for the Mets in the fifth inning of game one, when he busted down the line on a ground ball to first base, dove head first into the bag, and beat the toss to first in which he collected the game-tying RBI.

Quintana complete six innings, did not allow a run, only allowing four hits, and posted a 5:1 K:BB on 94 pitches. Quintana dominated during the stretch-run for the Mets, posting a 0.72 ERA, 23:6 K:BB, and only allowing two runs for the month of September.

Quintana and Iglesias are teammates in New York once again, as they were teamed up on the 2021 iteration of the Angels. Quintana was signed to a one year free agent deal, while Iglesias was traded for. Minasian waived the two Joses later in the season, as they were both in the midst of the worst years of their career. Both Joses had career-worst bWARs for the Angels in 2021.

Both Iglesias and Quintana will continue playing, as the Mets defeated the Brewers 2-1 in Milwaukee. They will face the Phillies in the NLDS.
