The Pirates avoided arbitration and agreed to terms with Josh Bell and Jameson Taillon for 2020 Friday, marking the first moves in what will be a busy day for the team.
Bell signed for $4.8 million, per Mark Feinsand, and Taillon for $2.25 million, per Bob Nightengale. Michael Feliz also came to terms for $1.1 million, with Robert Murray reporting first.
Bell had a breakout campaign in 2019, earning an All-Star nod by hitting 37 home runs and driving home 116 runs.
