The Cubs have hired future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux as a special assistant to general manager Jim Hendry. "We are thrilled to have Greg back with the Chicago Cubs," Hendry said in a statement. "He has such a vast knowledge of all phases of the game and the ultimate respect of everyone from the players to the front office. The addition of Greg Maddux makes us a better organization." Maddux will help with instruction for major leaguers and minor leaguers during spring training, and he will scout throughout the season. "I'm looking forward to working my way back into the game and am happy that the Cubs have given me the opportunity to do that," Maddux said in a statement. "I started my career with the Cubs, and Chicago has always been the best place in the league to play. I'm eager to do whatever I can to help the organization, and am looking forward to getting started at spring training." |
