No, not that Cordero, but the Nationals Chad Cordero. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Brewers might look to the trade market to fill their closer’s role, and they may check-in on the availability of the Washington’s Cordero. He was available at the trade deadline last season as well, but a deal was never consummated. The Mets had offered Phil Humber and the D-Backs offered Carlos Quentin and a RP, but the Nationals balked at both proposals.
It seems the Brewers would like an experienced closer to fill the role, as opposed to promoting one of their internal arms (although Derrick Turnbow remains the fallback option). Chad Cordero was 3-3 last season, with a 3.36 ERA and 37 saves. It seems the Brewers would be offering Chris Capuano as a starting piece for Cordero.
