The Toronto Blue Jays hired former Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell as vice president of baseball operations and assistant general manager.
Bell will oversee player development and the physical and mental performance departments, while also advising on player evaluations and acquisitions, according to the Blue Jays.
Bell spent nearly six seasons managing the Reds before being fired with five games left in the 2024 season. He had a 409-456 record.
The 52-year-old Bell also has worked in the organizations of the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants.
Bell was a player for 12 seasons (1995-2006) with six teams and batted .257 with 123 homers and 589 RBIs in 1,403 games. He twice hit 20 or more homers — smacking 21 for the Seattle Mariners in 1999 and 20 for the San Francisco Giants in 2002.
