Posted July 15, 201014 yr s signed right-handed reliever Jamey Wright and added him to the major league roster, according to the team. In a related move, the club optioned Chad Cordero to Triple A Tacoma and Cordero opted to become a free agent instead of accepting the assignment. Wright, 35, had been pitching at Triple A for the A's ever since the Indians released him. He struggled through 21.1 major league innings with Cleveland, posting a 5.48 ERA and walking as many aThe Mariners he struck out (nine). Wright allowed nine walks and 23 hits in 14 Triple A innings, striking out 16. Cordero appeared in the majors for the first time since 2008 this year, walking five and allowing ten hits in 9.2 innings of work for the M's. The 28-year-old struck out five, but didn't recapture the form that saw him save 113 games for the Nationals from 2005-07. Adding Wright to the MLB roster shouldn't help much and man Cordero has fallen since his few 30+ Save seasons in Washington and his brilliant 47 Save season in 05.
