Maddux On The Move

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired veteran starting pitcher Greg Maddux from the San Diego Padres for a player to be named later. This will be the second stint with the Dodgers for Maddux in the past three years.

Maddux, who was 6-9 with a 3.99 ERA for the last-place Padres, cleared waivers earlier in the month allowing for the move to be made.

This marks the second major move for the Dodgers of the season as they also added all-star outfielder Manny Ramirez at the trade deadline.

The Dodgers, who are currently tied with the Arizona Diamondback for first place in the NL West, can use all the help they can get as they fight to the down to the wire for the division crown.
