Buddy Bell is coming home.
The Reds have hired the Moeller graduate and former big-league player and manager as a vice president and senior advisor to president of baseball operations, general manager Dick Williams.
Bell, 66, played 18 years in the majors, including four in Cincinnati from 1985 to 1988. He was a six-time Gold Glove winner and five-time All-Star. After retiring, he coached for several teams, including the Reds and managed parts of nine seasons, three each in Detroit, Colorado and Kansas City. He is the son of former Red Gus Bell and the father of former big-leaguers Mike and David Bell.
