The Twins have approached Jason Kubel about a new contract in recent weeks. The team wanted to get a sense of what Kubel is thinking with free agency approaching. Minnesota spoke to Kubel last month, according to two sources, but it isn't known if they extended him an offer. The Twins offered Michael Cuddyer a two-year, $16 million extension recently. Kubel and Cuddyer have let the team know they want to hold off on negotiating until after the season. I like it here," Kubel said. "It's really comfortable for me. I know everybody here, and it makes it pretty easy on me."
