Rangers-Brewers Deal According to Melvin

MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers today acquired right-handed pitcher Francisco Cordero, outfielders Kevin Mench and Laynce Nix, and left-handed pitcher Julian Cordero from the Texas Rangers in exchange for outfielders Carlos Lee and Nelson Cruz.

"With Cordero and Mench, we have acquired two players that will help us immediately at the Major League level," said Brewers Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Melvin. "We are playing to win consistently now and in the future, and we believe that this helps us accomplish these goals. With Cordero, we have a proven late-inning pitcher who was an All-Star in 2004 and has been one of the league's most dependable relievers the past three years. And Mench has been a consistent everyday outfielder the past two seasons with Texas."
