According to La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Twins hope to sign outfielder-DH Jason Kubel to a two-year deal. Such a contract would cover his last two arbitration years. Kubel, 27 in May, hit .272/.335/.471 in 517 plate appearances in ’08.
Neal says the Twins are just looking to do one year with their other arbitration-eligible player, reliever Matt Guerrier.
