Reds come to terms with closer Cordero

The Cincinnati Reds signed closer Francisco Cordero to a four-year, $46 million deal on Friday, the largest four-year contract ever for a closer. The deal also includes an $11 million club option for 2012.

Cordero, 32, saved 44 games in 51 opportunities and posted a 2.98 ERA last season for the Milwaukee Brewers. He also struck out 86 in 63.1 innings. The nine-year veteran spent most of his career in Texas with the Rangers (2000-2006), but was shipped to Milwaukee in a trade during the 2006 season.
