Instead of trading Josh Bell, Washington Nationals should find a way to extend him

In recent days, given the wasteland of actual Major League Baseball news, other sites around the baseball sphere have explored hypothetical transactions.

One such hypothetical that’s come up more than a couple of times is that the Washington Nationals should explore trading a man that they acquired last offseason, Josh Bell.

After a slow start to his time in DC, Bell recovered to finish the year with a solid slash line of .261/.347/.476 while clubbing 27 home runs and tallying 88 RBIs. He also provided much-needed protection in the lineup for Juan Soto, swinging a hot bat in the second half.
