As we continue looking for a potential trade match for the Astros at the deadline, I’ve been focusing largely on players that are one of either 1.) Pure Rentals 2.) Club Controlled and Cheap.
Marquez definitely fits into the second category but it’s tough to say if the Rockies would be willing to move him. Last year, Marquez signed a very affordable 5 year (2019-2023) $43 Million dollar contract with a club option for 2024. This contract covers his age 24-29 seasons, leaving little reason to believe he’ll fall off prior to the end of the contract.
