Dodgers reportedly will get Maddux in trade with Padres

ESPN.com news services

The Los Angeles Times reported on Monday night that the team had agreed to the terms of a deal with the Padres for veteran right-hander Greg Maddux. Citing an anonymous person close to the deal, the newspaper did not know who San Diego would receive in return.

According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, no deal has been reached, but conversations are ongoing. Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch and general manager Ned Colletti would not confirm the deal to the Times either.

I'm shocked they got 2 runs off Sabathia. The game turned when Cooper walked the 8 hitter with a base open and two outs to get to CC. All he did was drive in two with a hard hit single. And those two runs were the first of 5 in the inning.

Sheets goes tomorrow. I'm just hoping against the sweep.

Another complete game for Sabathia...

So when does the NL CY Young talk begin...or does it?

No, it does not. You have to actually pitch in the NL for the whole season.

Actually, I beg to differ...

He continues at this kind of clip till the end of the year, he definitely gets consideration...

He'd get MVP votes, too.

Well, I hope the people that consider him are slapped upside the head by the people who remember that you have to pitch a whole year in the NL to win NL Cy Young. Hopefully the latter group of people, who will vote for Brandon Webb, are more numerous.

You'll have to refresh my memory on that one...

Oh - Rick Sutcliffe says 'hi'

Sutcliffe at least threw more than half his innings in the NL. 150.2, actually. I don't think the Sabathia train is going to go very far, what with Brandon Webb being 18-4 before September and not pitching in the American League this year.

but he didn't pitch in the NL the whole year!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Note that I said "If he continued at this clip..." part...despite my love for Webb, I think the Sabathia will definitely get some distance from the station should he continue on this roll...

[Tazlaz]

Weren't we supposed to forget who this Brandon Webb fellow is?

[bcruise]

Let the countdown begin - Seattle's elimination number is down to 9.

Their closest competitor is Washington, but they've got some catching up to do.
