The Cubs have reached a tentative deal to send Greg Maddux to the Dodgers, FOXSports.com has learned.

The deal requires the commissioner's approval because it involves a cash transaction of more than $1 million going from the Cubs to the Dodgers.
Maddux, a certain Hall of Famer with 327 career wins, is 9-11 this season with a 4.69 ERA.

In return, the Cubs will get Dodgers infielder Cesar Izturis. A former All-Star and Gold Glove winner, Izturis missed almost the first three months of the season after undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery last September to repair degenerative arthritis in his right elbow.

Since returning, Izturis has played in 32 games, hitting .252.

kinda sad. :(

but ahhhhh well. such is life.

izturis cant be any worse than cedeno at the plate, thats for sure.

He will do better with LA-more hit support.:wave1:

Izturis is an AWESOME fielder and when healthy, can hit .290 and give you 20 plus steals. I think it's a good move for the Cubs, they improve there D, get a SS for 07 and get rid of a guy they weren't going to keep. Izturis is coming back from an injury so the Cubs may not get the full Ceaser experience unitl next season, when they have a better chance to compete.
