Why didn't the Blue Jays sign Greg Maddux, who is much better than Zambrano or Okha?
Question:If they couldn't afford Gil Meche or Barry Zito, sign Greg Maddux (who isn't as expensive anymore). He seems to be a decent pitcher with a decent ERA and W-L despite his aging.
With all the extra money they have and the leftovers from Ted Lilly and Hinske it's more than enough for the Jays. What a wasted season.

He didnt want to go there, he wanted to be on the west coast which is closer to his family in Las Vegas. He also wanted to stay in the national leagueSan diego also has a great pitchers park
Myabe maddux didnt want to go there it depends on what the player wants too
HAHAHA Boston! Roger Clemens is wearing pinstripes again, what do u think about that?
ummm maddux wouldnt go there he wants to win in his final years not try to beat out the red sox and yankees every yearBecause signing a player is a mutual agreement and Maddux didn't want to go anywhere except southern California.

Not to diss the Blue Jays, but I'm thinking until they put up some more impressive numbers, the players aren't going to be signing with them without huge money offered. Like, money only the Yankees could afford, even though I'm not a fan of theirs, it's true.Not many players want to go to Toronto in the twilight of their career, even though the Blue Jays have a decent team. It's all about location and where you best fit in. Maddux probably wouldn't have gone to Toronto even if they doubled his contract. It's not about money anymore when your at his stage of his career.
Greg Maddux would have a hard time transitioning to the American League, ESPECIALLY, the AL West...he still cost $10 too, so it was not like he was a bargain...but the Blue Jays have some great young arms, such as Marcum, Jansson, McGowen, and Chacin, so there is no need to worry...Ohka, Zambrano, and Thompson are only stop-gaps...and with their rash of injuries this year, they would not have contended anyway...so chill
