The 2007 MLB season marked the debut of Adrian Garcia as a reporter for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Fox Sports West.

Adrian contributed to "Dodgers Live" alongside hosts Patrick O'Neal, Kevin Kennedy, and Steve Lyons. On Dodgers game telecasts live, Garcia provided post game player interviews while also reporting on Dodger on-and-off the field developments. Garcia uses his bilingual talents, to provide Spanish-speaking players with familiarity and comfort in sharing personal game experiences and perspective. Garcia is a rarity in this business, a talent that can announce games, anchor shows, write columns, and report fluently in Spanish as well as English. Garcia also joined 710 ESPN Radio in 2007 where he served as reporter and guest host.

At Fox Deportes, from 2005–2010, Garcia Marquez was the play-by-play announcer for Major League Baseball calling all regular season games of the week, the MLB All-Star Game, American League Championship Series, National League Championship Series and World Series. The former collegiate baseball player also served as studio host for 'Beisbol en Fox' and was the lead announcer on a team that includes former Major Leaguers Jose Tolentino, Carlos Hernández, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillén, and Manny Mota, as well as current manager of the Cleveland Indians, Manny Acta.

From 2002 to 2007, Garcia Marquez worked for Telemundo. He served as the morning news anchor for "Buenos Dias". His experience with Telemundo included being named to the first ever Olympic broadcasting team in Spanish for the United States, announcing baseball and basketball for the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Garcia Marquez was also the weekend sports anchor for "Noticias 52". On KVEA's sister station, KJLA, he hosted several shows such as "El Show de Los Lakers", "Dodgers en Domingo", "Mundo Deportivo", and The Rose Parade. The Mexican-American broadcaster also served as play by play announcer for Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim games on KJLA alongside veteran broadcaster José Mota.

From Bristol, Connecticut, he was recruited by the Univision network in Miami, Florida, to become a sports anchor for Contacto Deportivo on Telefutura where he added his unique style of sportscasting to the half-hour sports highlight show and the coverage of the 2002 World Cup in Japan/Korea.

At ESPN, he was an announcer, reporter, and analyst for Wednesday and Sunday Night Baseball, Sunday and Monday Night Football and NFL Primetime, all in Spanish. The exposure on ESPN led to the Boston Red Sox appointing him the team's Spanish radio voice in 2001. That year, he had the rare opportunity of calling two no hitters. One by Hideo Nomo on April 4, 2001, vs. the Baltimore Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bud Smith's no-no against the San Diego Padres on September 3, 2001.

Seeing that the Padres had no interest in the up and comer and local product, the former college catcher looked elsewhere and got his break as a play by play announcer with the Oakland Athletics in 2000.
