Multiple media outlets are confirming that future Hall-of-Fame pitcher Greg Maddux ((pictured, thanks San Diego Union Tribune)) is heading up Interstate 5 to play, once again, for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti officially rescues Maddux from one of the worst teams in the majors- again. Two years ago, Maddux was acquired for a stretch run in Dodger Blue- going 6-3, 3.30 as the team made the playoffs.
Maddux, who has 353 career wins and a 6-9, 3.99 ERA this season in San Diego, cleared waivers earlier in the month and would only allow himself be traded to the Dodgers.
With Brad Penny going on the Disabled List earlier in the week, this is the move that Colletti and Manager Joe Torre hope get them to the playoffs in the National League West since Penny could be gone for the year. It is reported that the Padres will receive two minor-leaguers to be named later.
