Indians Very Close To Acquiring Kosuke Fukudome By Tim Dierkes [July 28, 2011 at 9:13am CST] 9:13am: The Cubs will receive two prospects for Fukudome, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney, and a deal is likely to be done by today's game at 1:10pm central time. Olney adds that the Cubs are picking up more than half of the $4.7MM owed to Fukudome. 8:57am: The Indians are in serious talks for Cubs right fielder Kosuke Fukudome , tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The deal is "very close to happening," tweets Danny Knobler of CBS Sports. With Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Sizemore on the DL, the Tribe has a clear need for outfield help. Fukudome, 34, is hitting .273/.374/.369 in 345 plate appearances for the Cubs this year. Throughout his Cubs career, Fukudome has been able to draw walks but has shown limited power. Though his right field defense drew praise initially, he's been below-average per UZR over the last few years. Since Fukudome is owed almost $4.7MM for the balance of the season, the Cubs will likely have to kick in money to make a deal happen. He cannot be offered arbitration after the season, so draft pick compensation is not a factor. Fukudome has a limited no-trade clause, which MLB.com's Jordan Bastian thinks he may have waived to come to the Indians (Twitter link). 秋信守和Sizemore都進DL 想補強外野,所以在和小熊談福留孝介 可能會用2個小朋友來換,然後小熊吃點薪水 福留有權拒絕交易,不過應該會放棄 原文:http://0rz.tw/SzNUU --

He says one is a pitcher and the other is a position player. 福留的薪水只需要付775K,其他由小熊付 ※ 編輯: darkerson 來自: 114.25.74.190 (07/28 23:38) 確定了 福留孝介 <-> OF Abner Abreu 3.9M P Carlton Smith ※ 編輯: darkerson 來自: 114.25.74.190 (07/29 00:29)
