The Padres will sign Jason Marquis to a minor league contract, reports Ken
Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter). San Diego has four starters on the
disabled list and needs to replace the depth. He's an ACES client.
Marquis, 33, posted an 8.47 ERA with more walks (14) than strikeouts (12) in
seven starts and 34 innings for Minnesota this season, but just last year he
pitched to a 4.43 ERA in 132 innings for the Nationals and Diamondbacks. The
Padres only have to pay Marquis the pro-rated portion of the $480K league
minimum with the Twins picking up the rest of his $3MM salary.
Cory Luebke (Tommy John surgery) and Dustin Moseley (shoulder surgery) are
both out for the season while Joe Wieland and Tim Stauffer are expected back
from their elbow issues sometime this summer.
