Milwaukee Has Inquired About the Availability of Greg Maddux

[CUBZ99]

if z and prior go on the DL and maddux gets traded, the cubs are certainly going to have an interesting rotation for the rest of '06...probably rusch and four rookies.

 

Yes, they will. The Astros announcers last week made a good point in regard to your comment. Sure the Cubs are going to suffer this year, but it is obvious that at least some of these kids (Marshall, Marmol) have potential to be outstanding pitchers with some more experience.

It looks like Maddux won't be going to the Brewers.

 

Contrary to a report out of Chicago, Cubs pitcher Greg Maddux does have a no-trade clause in his contract. That was confirmed by his agent, Scott Boras, who attended the All-Star Game. Boras gave no indication that Maddux would refuse a trade to the Milwaukee Brewers, who have expressed interest in acquiring him for the second half. Maddux is thought to be receptive to going to Milwaukee, where his brother, Mike, is the pitching coach and longtime friend Ned Yost is the manager. Maddux, who has a home in Dana Point, Calif., reportedly would OK a deal to the Los Angeles Dodgers as well.

How does what you post say he "won't be going"?

 

Sorry, I misread the quote.

Yeah, it would be a positive of trading Maddux. It would be great to have an idea of what you got going into the offseason at SP.

Agreed, but only with a new manager. With Dusty the question would be who's still able to pitch next year because he wasn't abused this year.
