Josh Bell has reunited with the Washington Nationals on a one-year, $6 million deal, marking his second stint with the team after being traded in 2022.
Bell's performance has been inconsistent, highlighted by a significant difference in his OPS+ splits, which reflects his streakiness as a hitter in recent seasons.
Despite his struggles since being traded from the Padres, the Nationals believe Bell's potential to contribute powerfully in the middle of their lineup remains.
Originally acquired in the Juan Soto trade, Bell's return satisfies some nostalgia for Nationals fans, although the team missed re-signing Soto, who is now with the Mets.
