I still feel that Greg Maddux is an ace, and the Padres got him pretty cheap even at 10 million he agreed upon. If I was him I would have held out for the 11 million though.
Maddux agrees to terms of one-year deal with Pads
The San Diego Padres and pitcher Greg Maddux have agreed to terms on a one-year, $10 million deal, according to sources.
Maddux, who could have been a free agent, held a player option for $8.75 million for 2008. The Padres held a team option for $11 million for 2008.
Maddux has pitched 22 seasons for four teams, most of that time with the Atlanta Braves. He has 347 career wins, good for ninth on the all-time list.
A four-time Cy Young winner, Maddux was 14-11 with a 4.14 ERA in 34 starts for the Padres last season. San Diego lost a one-game playoff with the Colorado Rockies for the National League wild card.
