SAN DIEGO (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says the Cleveland Guardians and slugging first baseman Josh Bell have agreed to a $33 million, two-year contract. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a review of medical records. Bell played for Washington and San Diego last season, batting .266 with 17 homers and 71 RBIs in 156 games. Cleveland is coming off a surprising 2022 season, going 92-70 and winning the AL Central for the first time since 2018.
