The Cubs and left-hander reliever John Grabow have agreed in principle to a two-year deal, team sources said Thursday.

After being acquired from Pittsburgh with Tom Gorzelanny in the deal that sent Kevin Hart to the Pirates, Grabow posted a 3.24 ERA in 30 appearances, and set a career high with 75 games with both the Pirates and Cubs.
