"The Cubs have finalized a deal that sends outfielder Kosuke Fukudome to the Cleveland Indians for two minor-league prospects.

The Cubs will pick up most of the estimated $4.5 million remaining this season on Fukudome's contract. In return, they received Triple-A right-handed reliever Carlton Smith, who has a 4.50 earned-run average, and Class-A outfielder Abner Abreu, who is hitting .244.

The Cubs will promote Tyler Colvin from Triple-A Iowa to play right field.

The Indians were interested in Fukudome to help revive an offense that was no-hit Wednesday by the Angels' Ervin Santana and is without injured regulars Grady Sizemore andShin-Soo Choo"
