IRRESPONSIBLE RUMOR-MONGERING:

ESPN is reporting that ABC radio in New York is reporting* that Greg Maddux is going to sign with the New York Yankees later this week.

Maddux, as you no doubt know, is also represented by A-Rod's agent (Scott Boras), and there are versions of the how-the-deal-got-done story that had Yankees GM Brian Cashman calling Boras before the A-Rod stuff began to talk about another player he was representing...

it's almost certainly untrue, but I just thought I'd torment OGIW a little bit.

*this has the same journalistic credibility as "my friend x's friend told him that..."
