The Astros have released Francisco Cordero, according to MLB.com's Brian
McTaggart (on Twitter).
Houston acquired Cordero as part of a 10-player trade with the Blue Jays that
also netted them Ben Francisco and five minor leaguers. Cordero was installed
as Houston's new closer, but struggled mightily in five innings for the
'Stros. The 37-year-old allowed 11 runs on 13 hits before hitting the 15-day
disabled list. He hasn't appeared in a game since Aug. 1.
Cordero signed a one-year deal worth $4.5MM late in January to serve as the
setup man for new Blue Jays closer Sergio Santos. Neither Santos nor Cordero
wound up latching onto the closer role in Toronto, however, as Casey Janssen
emerged as the team's ninth inning stopper following Santos' injury problems
and Cordero's ineffectiveness. Cordero endured far and away the worst season
of his career in 2012, pitching to a 7.55 ERA in 39 1/3 innings thanks to a
whopping nine homers allowed.
Cordero owns a 3.38 ERA, 8.7 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 over the course of 824 2/3
career innings. His 329 saves rank 12th all-time. He's just one save behind
John Wetteland and 13 saves behind Rollie Fingers. If he ends up closing for
a team again in his career, he could work his way into the all-time Top 10.
