In 2007, Marquez played for the Double-A Trenton Thunder and was an Eastern League midseason All-Star for the team that year. Marquez went 15-9 with a 3.65 ERA for the Thunder. He led the league with 15 wins, was tied with 27 starts, was tied for second in innings pitched (155 1/3), tied for third in complete games (2), and was tenth in ERA (3.65).
On November 20, 2007, the New York Yankees purchased Marquez's contract, protecting him from the Rule 5 draft.
On November 13, 2008, Marquez, along with minor league pitcher Jhonny Núñez, and utility man Wilson Betemit were traded to the Chicago White Sox for first baseman/outfielder Nick Swisher and minor league pitcher Kanekoa Texeira.[1]
Marquez made his major league debut on July 9, 2010, pitching the 9th inning vs. Kansas City allowing 2 runs in an 8-2 White Sox win. The White Sox recalled him on May 30, 2011.[2] He was designated for assignment on June 5.[3]
Marquez was claimed off waivers by the New York Yankees on June 8 and added to the Major League roster when Joba Chamberlain was placed on the DL.[4] On August 27, the Yankees outrighted Marquez to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees.[5] He was granted free agency in November 2011.
On November 10, 2011, the Seattle Mariners signed Marquez to a minor league contract.
