I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but I do remember Johnson fouling a ball off his foot in today’s game. He came out early and was replaced by Fukudome. The Cubs hoped it was just a bruise, but with the 2009 Cubs luck that wasn’t likely. It’s a broken foot and Reed will miss at least one month. Sam Fuld probably gets the call-up tomorrow.

ESPN Chicago is reporting that the two teams are "finalizing" a deal.

Posted by Lionel on July 30, 2009.UPDATED (2:11 CT): According to John Heyman of SI.com, the Cubs and Pirates are in serious discussions about John Grabow, but the Cubs may be looking to add a second pitcher. With the growing depth in the 'pen (and Hart struggling a little bit in today's game), I'd assume the second pitcher is a starter. That probably means Tom Gorzelanny...

Gorzelanny could be off to Iowa, no word yet.I took a look at Grabow yesterday, and figured he's not much different than George Sherrill or Joe Beimel. Gorzelanny has also been covered...

Hardball: The trade deadline has passed without another deal being made by the Cubs, who made their splash on Thursday with the five-player trade centering around John Grabow and Kevin Hart. But the way they've played in July, the Cubs may not need as much help as previously believed.

Both John Grabow and Chicago-born Tom Gorzelanny pitch left-handed. That's what made the deal necessary.
