The Indians are interested in free agent outfielder Jason Kubel, according to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Kubel was limited to just 99 games this season due to a lingering foot injury, batting .273/.332/.434 with 12 homers and 58 RBI over 401 plate appearances. The 29-year-old isn't exactly the perfect fit for the Indians' righty-heavy lineup, but he has pop and experience playing both corner outfield positions. Hoynes speculates that he is likely looking for a two- or three-year contract worth about $7-8 million per season.
