Several beat guys saying Ex-Reds closer Cordero has a spring training invite and is expected in camp tomorrow. Not sure how this impacts their interest in Madsen.

Missed 2013 with surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, but his 2012 numbers leave a lot to be desired.  
 
39.1 IP 61 hits, 31/18 k/bb with a 2.008 whip and a 56 ERA +
 
I'd say the odds of him making the roster are slim to none.  Decent guy to stash in AAA and see if he has anything left I guess.

Doubt it impacts their interest in Madson at all.  No reason they can't both be brought in.  What's the worst that could happen, that they'd both be healthy enough and show enough that you want to keep them around?  Doesn't sound so bad.

Agreed. Cordero is a minor league deal. Probably a thank you with his agent to get a look/audition in spring. Madsen probably gets a major league deal or a guarantee if on roster on x date

Cordero played for Farrell in Toronto. Likely nothing more than a look-see for someone he's worked with in the past.

5 appearances, 5 IP, 6 K, 3 H, 0 R. There does not appear to be room for him unless there is an injury, but he has looked good so far.
