Cubs make offer to Maddux

Maddux, who turns 38 in April, was seeking a two-year deal worth around $20 million. The Cubs' offer is unknown, but is believed to be in the range of $14 million to $15 million over two years. Maddux earned $14.75 million last season before becoming a free agent.

I kind of like the deal if it really is around $7 million a season. Lets see what Maddux does now.

A bit of a history lesson also of 1992......

He later said that he had accepted a five-year, $25 million deal, but Tribune Co. management "declined to sign it" only two days later. Boras broke off contract talks with the Cubs after a heated negotiating session in July, and Maddux announced on July 16 that he intended to file for free agency.

"I've given them two opportunities to sign me," Maddux said. "I really felt it should have been taken care of."

Thats what you get when you think money 1st, winning 2nd. Signing Maddux is a classic Cub move. We are trying to get a player we should of had 5-10 years ago. Now he is pushing 38. And you will never get back what he once was.
