He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 23rd round of the 2006 MLB Draft but did not sign. He was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the sixth round of the 2007 MLB Draft, and signed. Following the 2009 season, Maine was traded by the Diamondbacks with Ryne White to the Chicago Cubs for Aaron Heilman.

Maine was added to the Cubs roster and promoted on August 27, 2010, and made his MLB debut the same day.[2] He split 2010, 2011 and 2012 with the Cubs and Triple-A Iowa. In 3 seasons with the pro team, Maine had a 4.87 ERA in 41 games while striking out 42 in 40.2 innings.
