Franchy Cordero Vargas (born September 2, 1994) is a Dominican professional baseball outfielder and first baseman in the Washington Nationals organization.

The Padres promoted Cordero to the Major Leagues on May 27, 2017, as regular center fielder Manuel Margot went to the disabled list with a strained calf.

[4] Cordero made his major league debut that day, striking out against Stephen Strasburg as a pinch hitter.

[6] Cordero returned to the Padres for 3 more games in July when Margot was on the paternity list but finished the season with El Paso.

Cordero began 2018 on the disabled list with a groin injury[8] and joined the Padres after he was activated in early April.

[9] Cordero began a rehab assignment in El Paso in June, but pain in his right elbow led to the diagnosis of a bone spur.

[11] He finished the regular season hitting .237/.307/.439 with 9 home runs, making 22 starts in left field, 10 in center, and 4 in right.

[12] On July 16, 2020, the Padres traded Cordero and Ronald Bolaños to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Tim Hill.

[27] In spring training in 2022, Cordero competed with Travis Shaw, Rob Refsnyder, Christin Stewart, Jonathan Araúz, and Yolmer Sánchez for one of two available spots on Boston's Opening Day roster.

[32] Cordero was placed on the 60-day injured list on September 7, ending his season, due to a right ankle sprain sustained in a game two days prior.

[33] For the season, he appeared in 84 games for Boston and batted .219 with eight home runs and 29 RBIs while playing defensively at first base and in all three outfield positions.

[35] Cordero hit .413 with two home runs in 46 spring training at-bats for Baltimore, but was released by the team on March 27, 2023.
