From cbs.sportsline.com:
Legendary right-hander Greg Maddux is leaving the Chicago Cubs after all: He's headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who acquired him seconds before the trade deadline Monday for shortstop Cesar Izturis, CBS SportsLine.com has learned.
Maddux, who approved the deal because the Dodgers are a contender and because he owns homes in Dana Point, Calif., and Las Vegas, immediately will join the Los Angeles rotation. The move also reunites Maddux with Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, who was an executive with the Cubs early in his career, during Maddux's first tour with the Cubs.
Izturis is a Gold Glove shortstop who missed much of the first part of this season following Tommy John ligament transfer surgery. He returned just before the All-Star break and had been playing third base in Bill Mueller's absence. But when the Dodgers acquired Wilson Betemit from Atlanta last week, it made Izturis even more expendable.
