“Can we trade for Josh bell just so he stops hurting us” - Philadelphia Phillies fans call for team to trade for Washington Nationals slugger Josh Bell after he homers in three straight games against them

Philadelphia Phillies fans want Josh Bell. The Washington Nationals slugger has crushed four home runs over his past three games versus the Phillies, batting in a total of six runs in that time frame.

The 29-year-old is having a great season. He's batted almost .300 all season (right now, he's hitting .294) and his 40 RBIs and nine home runs show his run-producing prowess. He's heading into a free agency this offseason, making him one of the most enticing pieces for contenders to fish for at the trade deadline.

Phillies fans want their team to get in on the Josh Bell sweepstakes. Just a couple of weeks ago, nobody thought the Philadelphia Phillies would be contenders this season. They were 21-29.

Now the Phillies are 33-31. Unfortunately for them, the Atlanta Braves have also picked things up, going 14-1 in their past 15 games. The Phillies are still third in the National League East, but their chances of grabbing a wild card spot are looking better now. They'll just need to bolster their lineup a bit.
