Buster Olney Suggests Josh Bell To Blue Jays Trade

Olney took to Twitter to express his thoughts about the Blue Jays acquiring Josh Bell.

"Total speculation at this point, but this would be a nice trade match later this season between a team rebuilding and a team trying to win (and desperately in need of more lineup balance): the Nats' Josh Bell to the Blue Jays."

Josh Bell is having another incredible season for the Washington Nationals as he's currently hitting .349 with three home runs. He's only struck out 12 times in 86 at-bats and is showing to still be one of the top-hitting first basemen in Major League Baseball. A season ago with the Washington Nationals, he hit .261 with 27 home runs and 88 RBIs.

His best season came in the 2019 year when he hit 277 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

With Vladamir Guerrero Jr playing first base, it would be likely that the Toronto Blue Jays decide to put Josh Bell in the designated hitter role. With Vladimir Guerrero still being much younger than Josh Bell as Bell is going to be 30 years old in August, it would make the most sense if they don't wear him out and put him at the DH position.

Vlad could also have some nights in the DH spot so he could get some rest.

The Toronto Blue Jays with their current roster already have a legitimate chance of winning the World Series. If they were able to add a guy like Josh Bell, this team would be the favorites to win it all and would have a legitimate chance because they would have one of, if not, the best lineup in all of baseball.
