D-Backs to sign Jason Kubel - 美國職棒

The Diamondbacks have signed outfielder Jason Kubel , tweets Tom Krasovic .
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports confirms the agreement, which is for two years
with an option. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports says the deal is worth $15MM.
Kubel is represented by Wasserman Media Group.

Kubel, 29, will play left field for the Diamondbacks according to Rosenthal .
The acquisition likely pushes Gerardo Parra to a fourth outfielder role,
meaning Arizona is sacrificing defense and hoping for more offense. Perhaps
Parra will become a trade target for other clubs. Kubel hit .273/.332/.434
in 401 plate appearances for the Twins this year, missing nearly two months
with a left foot sprain.

Kubel spent his entire career with the Twins after being drafted in the 12th
round in 2000. His best season came in 2009, when he hit .300/.369/.539 with
28 home runs.
