[3] Cubbage was traded along with Roy Smalley III, Bill Singer and Jim Gideon from the Rangers to the Minnesota Twins for Bert Blyleven and Danny Thompson on June 1, 1976.

[5] In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Cubbage hit a 1–0 pitch to right field, and was thrown out at third trying to leg out a triple; he was therefore credited for a double on the play.

Cubbage was then promoted back to his home state to manage the AAA level Tidewater Tides for their 1987–1989 International League seasons.

Cubbage then served as Mets' third base coach in the early 1990s, and was named interim manager in September 1991.

Cubbage remained on the staff as third base coach after the Red Sox hired Grady Little as Kerrigan's full-time replacement.
