New York Mets Sign Chad Cordero

The Mets need help, in multiple aspects. Today, they made a move that improves one part of their roster, possibly.

Chad Cordero was signed by the Mets today, and will be sent to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, who had their contract as affiliate of the Mets extended today through 2012, for now.

Cordero is most known for closing out games for the Washington Nationals from 2005-07. He also closed for the Montreal Expos in '03 and '04 before the franchise moved to Washington.

He pitched with the Seattle Mariners earlier this year, pitching in nine games and going 0-1 with a 6.52 ERA. Cordero was signed to a minor league deal.
