D'Backs likelier to trade Kubel than Upton
Jason Kubel - OF - Arizona Diamondbacks
Dec. 4, 2012 - 9:50 PM ET

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal hears that the chances of the Diamondbacks trading Jason Kubel are higher than that of them dealing Justin Upton.

It could be that they've come to the realization that they aren't going to get what they want for Upton, as the Rangers seem dead set on hanging on to Elvis Andrus and Jurickson Profar. And, while Kubel is coming off a better season, he obviously doesn't have nearly the upside of Upton. It's not a bad problem to have, as Arizona has four starting-worthy outfielders.
