The Indians acquired Jason Kubel from the Diamondbacks, as first reported by Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish.

MLB.com reports the Indians will send a minor league player to be named later and cash to the Diamondbacks.

Kubel was recently designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks. The Braves and Orioles reportedly were also interested in obtaining the left-handed hitting outfielder.
