Twins to sign RHP Marquis

Published Dec. 21, 2011 12:00 a.m. ET

The Twins, seeking to boost their starting rotation, have signed free-agent right-hander Jason Marquis.

Marquis agreed to a $3 million, one-year contract with the Twins on Thursday.

Marquis, 33, went 8-5 with a 3.95 ERA for the Nationals last season before getting traded to the Diamondbacks on July 30 — and suffering a season-ending fractured right tibia in his third start after the deal.

The Twins will be Marquis' seventh team and his first in the AL. He is 104-98 in his career with a 4.55 ERA.
