Red Sox signed RHP Francisco Cordero to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Cordero didn't pitch at all last season after putting up an ugly 7.55 ERA across 47 appearances in 2012. He'll also turn 39 in May and has seen his velocity and strikeout rate dip in recent years. That said, the former closer is worth taking a shot on on a non-guaranteed deal. He'll compete for a middle relief role.
