Transaction

Signed reliever FRANCISCO CORDERO to a two-year extension with a team option for a third year.

Good. Francisco receives $3.75 million in 2005, $4 million in 2006, and potentially $5 million in 2007, all reasonable for a player evolving into a top-notch closer. Texas bought out his last arbitration year and at least one year of free agency. Someone might have paid more on the open market.
