Marquez will now provide the Twins with a new veteran pitcher in their minor league system. The 31-year-old righty will now be looking to impress down with Triple-A St. Paul in hopes of landing a call-up to the Twins' major league roster before the season is over.
Marquez appeared in 13 games this season with the Padres before being designated for assignment. During them, he posted a 4-2 record, a 5.26 ERA, and 37 strikeouts. This was after he had a 3-16 record, a 6.70 ERA, and 83 strikeouts in 26 starts for the Colorado Rockies this past season.
In 216 career MLB games over 11 seasons split between the Rockies and Padres, Marquez has posted a 68-72 record, a 4.67 ERA, and 1,106 strikeouts. He was also an All-Star during the 2021 season with the Rockies, so he has had some success in the majors in the past.
