On September 10, 2012, Quezada signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins. He would spend the next 7 seasons in the Twins minor league system, playing for the DSL Twins in 2013 and 2014, the GCL Twins in 2015, the Elizabethton Twins in 2016–2018, the Single-A Cedar Rapids Kernels in 2018, and the advanced Single-A Fort Myers Miracle in 2019.[1] He elected free agency on November 4, 2019.

On December 18, 2019, Quezada signed a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins organization. The Marlins promoted him to the major leagues on September 11, 2020.[2][3][4] He made his major league debut on September 12 against the Philadelphia Phillies.[5]

St. Louis Cardinals[edit]

The Philadelphia Phillies claimed Quezada off of waivers on October 30, 2020.[6][7] On February 10, 2021, the St. Louis Cardinals acquired Quezada from the Phillies in exchange for cash considerations.[8][9][10] Quezada spent the entire 2021 season split between three minor league affiliates: the rookie-level Florida Complex League Cardinals, the Double-A Springfield Cardinals, and the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds. In 18 total appearances between the three clubs, Quezada struggled to a 6.38 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 24.0 innings pitched.

On March 29, 2022, Quezada was designated for assignment by the Cardinals following the signing of Albert Pujols.[11] On March 30, Quezada was sent outright to Double-A Springfield.[12] He made 44 appearances in the Cardinals’ farm system in 2022, posting a 2–1 record and 4.83 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 59.2 innings pitched. He elected free agency on November 10, 2022.

Miami Marlins (second stint)[edit]

On February 3, 2023, Quezada signed a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins organization.[13] He made one start for the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos before being promoted to the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. He made 4 appearances for Jacksonville, posting a 2–0 record and 2.70 ERA with 8 strikeouts in 6.2 innings pitched. On April 28, Quezada had his contract selected to the active roster.[14] He made one appearance for Miami, surrendering 3 runs and allowing 5 walks in 0.2 innings of work against the Atlanta Braves. Quezada was designated for assignment on May 3 after Devin Smeltzer was added to the roster.[15] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville on May 5.[16] Quezada elected free agency on October 11.[17]
