As the Indians try to regain their mojo — they sit only two games above .500 and are now two games behind the first-place Tigers — general manager Chris Antonetti is finalizing a deal with the Cubs for right fielder Kosuke Fukudome in exchange for two minor leaguers. Chicago will pick up more than half of Fukudome’s remaining $4.7 million salary. (UPDATE: The deal is done.)

With outfielders Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Sizemore on the disabled list, a trade was viewed as a near-certainty. While Fukudome has not displayed much power since arriving in the States, he has shown a consistent ability of getting on base. He has posted a .273/.374./369 BA/OBP/SLG and .335 wOBA line in 87 games this season.
