LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that they have acquired right-handed pitcher Greg Maddux and cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs for infielder Cesar Izturis and infielder Julio Lugo from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for minor leaguers Joel Guzman and Sergio Pedroza, according to Dodger General Manager Ned Colletti.
"Greg is one of the greatest pitchers in the history of the game," said Colletti. "What he can bring to this team goes beyond his ability on the mound. We expect him to solidify our rotation and serve as a strong influence in the clubhouse.
"Julio is a solid infielder both offensively and defensively and will help strengthen us up the middle. He also adds more speed to our lineup."
They also in the past week acquired infielder Wilson Betemit from the Atlanta Braves for right-handed pitcher Danys Baez, infielder Willy Aybar and cash considerations, according to Dodger General Manager Ned Colletti.
"Wilson is a talented young player who can contribute immediately at the Major League level," said Colletti. "He will not only be able to help the 2006 club, but we expect him to play a big part in the future success of the Dodgers as well."
