He was hitting .301 with 14 homers when the Nationals traded him to the Padres, however, he had a difficult time adjusting to his new team, hitting .192 with only three homers in 53 games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His best season came in 2019 when he slashed .277\/.367\/.569 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs while playing for the Pirates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The 30-year-old should be able to bounce back and be a 25-home run-type power hitter next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How Bell fits with the Guardians<\/h2>\n<p>The Guardians needed someone to fill the vacancy left by Franmil Reyes&#8217; rapid downfall last season.  Bell is a switch-hitter without a profound contrast in splits against lefties and righties.  That should help a Cleveland lineup that struggled immensely against southpaws in 2022, especially first baseman Josh Naylor (.512 OPS).<\/p>\n<p>Bell owns a career .262\/.351\/.459 slash line overall, but he fits with the Guardians&#8217; offensive approach, as he has historically racked up a ton of walks but has avoided uncomfortable strikeout rates.  Cleveland led the league in contact rate and strikeout rate in 2022. Bell topped out at 37 home runs in 2019, his lone All-Star season, when he posted a .936 OPS.  Last season, he delivered a .301\/.384\/.493 slash line for the Nationals before they traded him to San Diego, where he struggled to a .587 OPS. <em>\u2014 Meisel<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Evaluating the terms of the deal<\/h2>\n<p>The annual average value of the deal, $16.5 million, is the second-largest the organization has ever handed out, falling just shy of the $20 million per year the team guaranteed Edwin Encarnaci\u00f3n after the 2016 season.  Bell can opt out of the deal after the 2023 season;  it&#8217;s the first time they have granted a free agent an opt-out clause. <em>\u2014 Meisel<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Other offseason priorities for Cleveland<\/h2>\n<p>This checks off one of two primary goals for the Guardians this offseason.  Now, they&#8217;ll attempt to address their catching situation.  They&#8217;ve talked with the Athletics about Sean Murphy since the summer.  They&#8217;re seeking an established option who can ease the burden on top-100 prospect Bo Naylor, the heir apparent at the position.  They have a wealth of prospects from which to trade. <em>\u2014 Meisel<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Required reading<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Photo: Kyle Ross \/ USA Today)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);\n        fbq('init', '207679059578897');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free-agent first baseman\/designated hitter Josh Bell is headed to Cleveland on a two-year contract worth $33 million, a league source confirmed to The Athletic on Tuesday.
