Cordell joined the Phillies on a minor-league deal in late April, Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cordell has appeared in 121 games at the big-league level over the last three seasons but has done very little at the plate, hitting .202/.263/.328. The Phillies have a notable hole in center field this season, but nothing in Cordell's track record indicates he's the solution to their problems.

Cordell was designated for assignment by the Mets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cordell played a very small role for the Mets this season, grabbing one hit in eight trips to the plate. As a 28-year-old with a career .202/.263/.328 slash line in 121 major-league games, he's unlikely to be anything other than a fringe player next season.

Cordell had his contract selected by the Mets after Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old will join the 40-man roster between games of the twin bill with Andres Gimenez (oblique) heading to the injured list. Cordell appeared in four games during his brief stint in the majors earlier this season and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two strikeouts.

Cordell cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Mets' alternate training site, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cordell was designated for assignment earlier in the week but will remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The 28-year-old appeared in four games before being let go and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base.

Cordell was designated for assignment by the Mets on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cordell will be the roster casualty after the Mets added Ariel Jurado in a trade from the Rangers in a corresponding move. He spent just a week on the Mets' active roster, going 1-for-4 at the plate in limited action.

Cordell was recalled to the majors Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jake Marisnick (hamstring) was sent to the injured list in a corresponding move. Cordell should fill a reserve outfield role during his time with the big club. He hit .221/.290/.355 with seven homers across 247 plate appearances with the White Sox in 2019.

The Mets re-signed Cordell to a minor-league deal Monday and announced he would be included in the team's 60-man player pool.
EDGE Analysis
Though the report implies that Cordell was released by the Mets at some point during MLB's hiatus, he was willing to rejoin the organization as part of its expanded roster. Cordell had inked a minor-league deal with the Mets in January after slashing .221/.290/.355 with seven home runs and three steals across 247 plate appearances with the White Sox in 2019.

Cordell has made a good first impression on his new teammates in camp after being signed to a minor-league contract by the Mets in January, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. "He's showing a little bit of everything -- drop down a bunt, oppo home run, he threw a guy out, diving catch," said Michael Conforto. "He's done a little bit of everything."
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old posted a meager .645 OPS in 97 games with the White Sox last season, but Cordell's well-rounded skill set and right-handed bat could make him a good fit on the bench for a team that will feature lefty-hitting starting outfielders in Conforto and Brandon Nimmo. The team already has Jake Marisnick to fill that role, however, and whether there's room for Cordell on the initial 26-man roster could depend more on the health of players like Yoenis Cespedes (ankle) and J.D. Davis (shoulder) than his own spring efforts.

Cordell signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday as a non-roster invitee, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cordell elected free agency in October after being outrighted to Triple-A by the White Sox, but he'll find a new home with the Mets in 2020. The 27-year-old appeared in 97 major-league games for the White Sox last year, hitting .221/.290/.355 with seven home runs and 24 RBI.
