Mets Sign RHP Chad Cordero to
Minor League Deal and Assign to Bisons
The New York Mets today announced that they have signed RHP CHAD CORDERO to a minor league deal and assigned the pitcher to the Bisons.
Cordero, 28, began the 2010 season with the Seattle Mariners organization. He was 0-1 with a 4.12ERA and six saves in 17 games with Triple-A Tacoma before being promoted to the big league club at the start of June. In nine games with the Mariners, the reliever was 0-1 with a 6.52ERA (9.2IP, 10H, 7R, 7ER, 5BB, 6K).
Cordero has a career 20-15 record with a 2.89ERA and 128 saves in seven major league seasons with Montreal, Washington and Seattle. He was a National League All-Star in 2005 and won the NL Rolaids Relief Award with a major league-best 47 saves that same year. Cordero was originally a 1st round draft pick (20th overall) by the Expos in the 2003 amateur draft.
Cordero spent last season recovering from a torn labrum in his right shoulder suffered early in the 2008 campaign. The reliever had surgery to repair the shoulder on July 8, 2008. Cordero pitched in 14 games between the rookie-Arizona League Mariners and their short-season club in Everett in 2009.
