Right-handers German Marquez and Griffin Canning have signed one-year contracts with the San Diego Padres, pending physicals, several reports were confirmed on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Marquez, 30, is a 10-year veteran of the Major League who played his entire career with the Colorado Rockies with a record of 68-72, a 4.67 ERA and a 1.334 WHIP. <\/p>\n
In 2021, he was chosen to his only All-Star team with a 4.40 ERA, 1.272 WHIP, 176 strikeouts and the best in the league with three complete games in 32 starts. <\/p>\n
The Venezuelan righty has struggled with various injuries in recent years, most recently undergoing Tommy John surgery that reduced him to five starts between 2023 and 2024. <\/p>\n
His 2025 performance was not much as he equaled 3-16 with an ERA of 6.70, WHIP of 1.710, and 83 strikeouts in 1261\/3 innings. <\/p>\n
Career splits indicate that he has been more successful on the road than at Coors Field, with a 4.22 ERA on the road compared to 5.17 at home. Canning, 29, had an excellent 2025 season with the New York Mets, starting 16 games with 7-3 and 3.77 ERA, but ruptured his left Achilles tendon. <\/p>\n
Canning has a 32-37 career record with a 4.65 ERA in 115 games and was drafted in the second round in 2017 by the Los Angeles Angels out of UCLA. <\/p>\n
In 2020, he also earned a Gold Glove as an American League pitcher, but was missing in the 2022 season because of a back injury. <\/p>\n
Both pitchers hope to deliver successful returns to San Diego to add experience and depth to a Padres rotation that is looking to compete at the very top of the National League West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A collage of\u00a0Right-handers German Marquez(left) and Griffin Canning. \u2014 Reuters Right-handers German Marquez and Griffin Canning have signed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":573769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2407],"tags":[5,1340,140,98,12782,4,43,137,18,4339,4338],"class_list":["post-573768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego-padres","tag-baseball","tag-canning","tag-german-marquez","tag-griffin-canning","tag-marquez","tag-mlb","tag-padres","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-padres","tag-sandiego","tag-sandiegopadres"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116074313032563046","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=573768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/573769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=573768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=573768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=573768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
