Twins Honor Late Bench Coach Mike Bell in Game Against Braves

The Twins will honor its late bench coach Mike Bell in their game against the Braves. Bell passed away on Friday at the age of 46 after a battle with cancer.

"In his short time with our club, Mike had an indelibly positive impact—not only on the quality of our team on the field, but most importantly upon everyone whom he met," the Twins said in a statement. "Widely respected in our game, all who knew Mike, on and off the field, are better for the experience."

Before Bell's tenure with the Twins, he spent 13 seasons with the Diamondbacks as the vice president of development (2017-19), director of player development (2011-16) minor league field coordinator (2010), and as a minor league manager for three seasons.
