Lackey deal caps busy day for Cubs

Joe Maddon thought back to 2002, when he was the Angels' bench coach and John Lackey, a 24-year-old rookie, beat the San Francisco Giants in Game 7 of the World Series.

"He actually helped pay for my daughter's wedding," Maddon said. "I was really grateful for many years for that."

In a deal that reunites the pair, Lackey and the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday finalized a two-year contract worth $32 million.
