Could Twins use Hot Streak of Bell to get Bullpen help?

[Trov]

Josh Bell is doing what Josh Bell does, gets hot when weather warms.  He is doing very well in June, and just as his career has shown June through August he is a different hitter than the early spring and fall months. Twins have a glut of AAA that could come up and fill his roll.  Even if the Twins feel they can compete for playoffs, it still might be worth trading Bell while he is looking like a good DH/1B shot, for some type of bullpen help.  He will never fetch a huge return, but it is one of those sell while he is hot, and you have depth to fill that roll.

How much do you think a contender is willing to shell out for a guy they can reasonably expect to fade by the time the post-season starts?

Maybe they can get Chapman from BOS. Or Weaver from the Mets. How about Kirby Yates from the Angels. There's Senzatela from COL. They could just swap them now. The other team might have to send cash or a top 20 prospect.

No . He's just not worth anything. 

No way they deal for Chapman, he has a vesting option.
