Maddux and Cubs talking

"We've always had interest in Greg," Hendry said Monday. "Who wouldn't want Greg Maddux on their ballclub? Hopefully he'll consider coming with us."

Maddux, who turns 38 in April, earned $14.75 million with the Atlanta Braves last year. Hendry does have a budget, and Maddux would have to accept less to sign with the Cubs. Sources said the Cubs have not made a formal offer to the right-hander, who was 16-11 with a 3.96 ERA with the Braves. Read more at Cubs.com.

I have softened my stance on Maddux if the Cubs sign him. But i will not be happy if they blow $8-$10 million a year on Maddux and then not sign Pudge. I am sorry but getting Greg Maddux is not a NEED. Its a luxury.

Some special announcement is schedule for the convention this week. I can only pray its Pudge not Maddux. But even if it is Maddux, it certainly doesnt hurt.
