Josh Bell Unlikely To Be Traded
Josh Bell at the deadline at the end of July. Bell is making $8 million this year while also hitting just .229 (77-for-336) with eight home runs, 37 RBI and 31 runs scored in 88 games in his first full year in Miami. He also has an on-base percentage below .300 and a below-average .646 OPS while striking out 69 times in 371 plate appearances. The Fish would love to trade Bell this summer, but it's unlikely a contending team will want to take on that salary for a declining power hitter that also doesn't provide much with his glove at the cold corner. Bell has also gotten off to a slow start in July with just one hit in 22 at-bats (.046) with a double, two RBI and six strikeouts in five games.
