CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Cubs are expected to assume more than half of the remaining $24 million remaining on Alfonso Soriano's contract when the trade with the Yankees goes through. Soriano is making $18 million this season and is set to earn another $18 million next year. The Yankees are only expected to send a low-level pitching prospect to the Cubs in the deal. The trade is not expected to be finalized until Friday, as commissioner Bud Selig still has to approve it since so much money is changing hands.
