The Padres have announced that they have designated pitcher German Marquez for assignment. The Padres also shared that they have added recently acquired pitcher Robbie Ray to their 26-man roster.
Marquez joined the Padres this offseason after spending each of his first 10 MLB seasons with the Colorado Rockies. The veteran pitcher struggled with the Padres this campaign, as he had a 5.26 ERA in 13 appearances. This was after he had a 3-16 record, a 6.70 ERA, and 83 strikeouts in 26 games during the 2025 season with the Rockies.
While Marquez has certainly had his struggles in recent seasons, it is fair to wonder if another team could consider taking a chance on him. Keep in mind, the 6-foot-1 righty was once an All-Star and has had some strong seasons. Due to this, the possibility of another team bringing him in for the final stretch of the season should not be ruled out.
In 216 career major league games over 11 seasons, Marquez has recorded a 72-74 record, a 4.70 ERA, and 1,106 strikeouts. It will be interesting to see if another team decides to claim him off waivers from the Padres from here. The possibility should not be ruled out, as teams are always on the hunt for experienced pitchers.
