Indians declined OF Jason Kubel's $7.5 million mutual option for 2014. Certainly no surprise, as Kubel played sparingly down the stretch for the Tribe after being acquired via trade in late August. He hit 30 homers in 2012 but followed it up with just five dingers and a .216/.293/.317 batting line in 2013. Kubel is just 31, though, and shouldn't have trouble finding a starting job somewhere.
