Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo told reporters, after the 2-for-1 deal with Pittsburgh’s Pirates for Josh Bell was announced, about hitting coach Kevin Long getting started on a plan to help the 28-year-old first baseman get back on track after a down year offensively for the corner infielder in 2020.
Bell put up a .226/.305/.364 line with three doubles and eight home runs in 57 games and 223 plate appearances in a -0.
