As a Greg Maddux fan I read with interest this morning in the LA Times that there are questions surrounding what many thought was a done deal with the Dodgers for next season.

Clearly, he was a great deal for the Dodgers last season and was an important part in their August turnaround that propelled them into the playoffs.

But now he is asking for a multi-year contract at his usual $8Mil/year salary and the Dodgers may not want to pony up those bucks when they are eyeing guys like Zito in the free agent market.

Of course, this certainly leaves the possibility of a return to the Cubs if Hendry fails to sign a FA starter.
