Falling K/9 and velocity + age 37 = bad idea

This is one poorly ran team. Dusty extension, Arroyo extension, this with Cordero, Rolen extension, Misuse of Chapman, banishing Mesoraco and Alonso to the bench, yada yada yada, I could go on for hours.

As much as I dislike Cardiac Cordero, I can see why this makes absolute sense. He has been very solid despite being ridiculed by Reds fans. This keeps Chapman as a pure rotation option instead of wasting him in the pen. The Reds don’t have a real replacement unless you give Boxberger a shot. But he is still not ready, and you’re going to pay much more for anything via trade or free agency. Corder is honestly THE best option the Reds have, ESPECIALLY if he takes a fair contract in the extension.

2 yr/13 mil with a team option for a 3rd year at 7mil with a 2-3 mil buyout. Guarantees Cordero at least another 15-16mil in wages which is fair considering where he is at in his career. Allows him to continue to climb the all-time saves list. The 12 mil option will not be picked up and he wouldn’t get anywhere near that on the open market anyway.

i’d definitely leave chapman in the ‘pen. cordero’s already 38 and probably doesn’t have much left in the tank. keeping chapman and his explosive arm in the closer role would the best decision the reds have made in awhile
