Great move by the Padres if they can get value.

NL West. The division that wasn't! Surely whoever goes out and spends a little to stay a game over .500 is going to win this dismal division.

This is a tough one for me as a San Diego fan. If the Padres can get the value for Maddux, and essentially go through with this salary dump, it's good for the future. But even in a season clearly lost for good, I still want to see Mad Dog in a Padres uniform for the rest of the year.

Torre's an old-school guy that believes in veterans who have been there before.....I think that is why he'd want Maddux. Not that I agree with that thinking.....

The great thing here is, if they don't get Maddux, they can take a shot at one of his chins...

Just another salary dump by the Pud-dumps. Like Tony Clark, they don't care what they get as long as someone else will pay the salary. Why can't we get someone like Mark Cuban to buy the Pads & begin fielding a major league team?

Speaking of dumps, I'l be right back...

Nothing against Maddux (a 1st ballot HOF'er for sure) but, while it would be a great move by the Padres, it makes no sense for the Dodgers. L.A. needs offense.

I agree - the Dodgers need offense. What they don't need is to 'dump' their excellent 24 years old excellent hitter et al Matt Kemp. Everytime a trade seems a potential, his name gets put out. And why. He's potentially the very best of all their various non-pitching young players. When will they make Kemp the untouchable they should consider him now.

Dodgers may need his leadership but he will be little help.. they need bats. Jones deal has been a huge nail this season.

The need hitting.. what the heck???

damn... this guy still getting people out? Holy Cow.

San Dog needs to move him for some prospects he's worthy of at least 3 as a proven vet he is a hall of famer for sure and probably will stay with the Dodgers in a contract extension once they get him

damn... this guy still getting people out? Holy Cow.

yep...still producing. and look at that neck and belly fat. as soon as he retires he can go back to being a CPA.

Hmmm, does Maddox want to be a dodger?

He turned down the Phillies, guess he was afraid his high 80's junk would get knocked out of the band box in Philly.

It is sad to watch this future first-ballot Hall of Famer being bandied about as trade bait to fill in a third or fourth starter slot with a mediocre team.

Maddux still has alot of years left to play, he will be a closer for some team in a few years.
