Despite the initial surprise, Cordero was motivated and grateful for the warm welcome received in his new team.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cYes, I really didn&#8217;t expect to be part of a change. I stayed in the organization for a long time because of how well we got along and the good treatment. But this is a business and any modification is always aimed at improving the team\u201d,<\/p><cite>Jimmy Cordero<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe reliever highlighted the fluidity of his integration into the team, facilitated by prior contact with several players and members of the coaching staff.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis has been an exemplary welcome, up to par. Most of us know each other in the league, we&#8217;ve been together before on different teams.

All that cost, because there is mutual affection\u201d,<\/p><cite>Jimmy Cordero<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nPlaying at the Quisqueya stadium with a new jersey has been an emotional process that Cordero faces with maturity.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cEmotions are a separate sense. I can&#8217;t get carried away by sadness or happiness. I spent a lot of time with them, but I must keep emotions under control because this game depends on that too. Of course there is a little sadness, but this is a business and you have to move on\u201d,<\/p><cite>Jimmy Cordero<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nDespite his arrival at the Giants, Cordero feels no added pressure nor the need to prove anything.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;One continues with the same mission and the same plan, to give 100% in every opportunity. It could serve as a boost, but in the end it&#8217;s the same game, only the team changes. There&#8217;s nothing to prove.
