CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Twins have signed Jason Kubel. Darren Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com is saying it's a minor league deal. Kubel slugged 30 homers for the D'Backs in 2012 but fell off the map last season, batting just .216/.293/.317 with five homers over 97 contests. He'll see plenty of starts at the corner outfield spots and at DH. Kubel, of course, was drafted by the Twins and spent his first seven big league seasons in Minnesota.
