Dodgers Hire Greg Maddux, Raul Ibanez As Special Assistants

By Jeff Todd | February 2, 2016 at 2:52pm CDT

The Dodgers have hired former MLB stars Greg Maddux and Raul Ibanez as special assistants to president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and the club’s baseball operations department, per a team announcement.

Maddux and Ibanez are both highly decorated ballplayers, of course, and also have accumulated a fair bit of experience since their playing days ended. They’ll assist in scouting and player development functions, according to the team’s press release.

The 49-year-old Maddux — a recent Hall of Fame inductee — has worked with both the Cubs and Rangers front offices in recent years, as J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles News Group writes. During the 2013 World Baseball Classic, he was the pitching coach for Team USA.

Ibanez, meanwhile, worked as a television analyst last year after wrapping up his 19-year-career following the 2014 season. The 43-year-old has seen his name come up as a possible field staff candidate, but will instead make his first foray into the front office world with Los Angeles.

    I’m sure Maddux gave it some thought before accepting this role.
    I can’t see him wanting to replace Honeycutt. Don’t see him desiring the demands. He and Smoltz were great pitchers so attempting to extract Greg’s intellect, we can only hope to gain from him.
    We shall see.

    The Dodgers hire every big name available. Yet it’s done nothing for team chemistry. It has to be organically cultured. You can’t just buy it!
