Cordero's future in D.C. in doubt: The Sports Xchange notes that Chad Cordero will not be tendered a contract for 2009, according to GM Jim Bowden, who said the club can't afford to spend nearly $5 million on a reliever coming back from major shoulder surgery. (Updated 07/25/2008).
Injury Report
Shoulder - 60-day DL. Out for the season (Updated - 7/9/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Cordero, who had surgery earlier this month to repair a torn labrum, cannot make less than $4.96 million in arbitration next season. "We have told his agent, Larry Reynolds, that we are not going to do that, based on the surgery he had," Bowden said. "His agent acknowledged that no team in baseball would do that." Bowden said the Nationals would still be interested in renegotiating a lesser deal with Cordero once he becomes a free agent, but Reynolds said he's not sure if his client will want to re-sign.
