• The Dodgers have reacquired pitcher Greg Maddux and received cash from San Diego. The Padres will get two minor-league players to be named or cash. Maddux is 6-9 with a 3.99 ERA this season, and has 353 career wins. His record with last-place San Diego this season includes 11 no-decisions. "It's very rare that you get the opportunity to add a pitcher like Greg even one time, let alone twice," general manager Ned Colletti said in a statement. "He's one of the greatest pitchers of all time and we've already seen what he can add to a team, both on the field and in the clubhouse."
