In the speculation swirling around which Cubs might get dealt before the trade deadline, the name of future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux is sometimes included.

Maddux’s struggles continued Friday in a 6-3 loss to the New York Mets. He allowed 8 hits and 6 runs (5 earned) in 7 innings to fall to 7-10.
It was the fifth straight loss for Maddux, who talked after the game about the rumors.
“Who knows what’s really going on? I learned a long time ago not to believe what you read in the paper,” Maddux said. “When it happens, it happens.
“I love playing in Chicago, no question but I understand there’s choices that have to be made. The city and the organization have been great to me. Whatever happens, happens. Either way, I’m good with it.”
