FRANCISCO CORDERO RUMORS
Cordero blows third save for Blue Jays
So much for the Blue Jays' new and improved bullpen. The Blue Jays did not do much during the offseason, but they sure did rearrange their relievers. After all, last year's bullpen blew 25 saves. Some were in the same game and some in games the Blue Jays won. But they were only 33-for-58 in save opportunities. A little more than a month into this season, the new, improved...

Should the Reds Resign Francisco Cordero?
Cordero ranks 12th on the all-time saves list with 327.
