Eddy Yean and Will Crowe. 
Crowe is probably a back of the rotation guy. Yean is young and really raw, but his stuff was impressive at his age.

ESPN -  In five seasons, all with the Pirates, Bell has a .261 career batting average with 86 home runs and 309 RBIs.

Crowe, 26, went 0-2 with an 11.88 ERA in three starts for the Nationals. Yean, 19, is 3-5 with a 4.70 ERA in 20 starts in Washington's farm system.

That's a win for the Nats IMO.

Maybe. 

Josh Bell always struck me as the player who always had potential, but always underachieved. Outside of the first half of 2019, he's been a pretty meh first baseman. 

It's not like they gave up a ton, but they're basically gambling that he needs a change of scenery. Which is kind of an odd for a team that is supposed to be going for it at the end of their window.

True - 2019 is a bit of an outlier - but if he hits for you like he did then........he'll be a nice bat to pair with Soto.
