Greg Maddux has been hired to be an assistant to GM Jim Hendry.

 

What that entails, I have no idea. Show up and talk pitching once in a while, I suppose.

 

He was on Chicago Tribune Live and mentioned that the job was going to be "far from a full-time gig". So yeah, you'd have to assume it'd be more of an emeritus position.

He was asked by Dave Caplin on WGN last night as to what he will do at his new job and it took him about 10 seconds of ummms and uhhhhhs to come up with his job description. If you cant tell someone what you job is within 3 seconds, it's not a real job.

Soto lost 37 in the pounds in the offseason, and the Cubs are supposedly "ecstatic."

I mean, why wouldn't they be? When a guy whose minor league power numbers suddenly spike and then dramatically plummet loses tons of weight, it can only be a good thing, right?

I guess getting off the roids is something to be happy about?
