We’ll go ahead and let the 30-year-old right-hander break his own news:
Cordero has logged only 14 innings in the major leagues since the end of the 2007 season and did not pitch at any level in 2012. But he is over the shoulder issues that have plagued him and ready for another shot. The former first-round pick of the Expos posted a 1.82 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 74 1/3 frames with the Nationals in 2005 while leading the league with 47 saves. He owns 128 career saves and a 2.89 career major league ERA.
