Bell leaves Giants for $17 million deal with Phils
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- Third baseman David Bell agreed to a $17 million, four-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
Bell hit .261 with 20 homers and 73 RBI last season while helping the San Francisco Giants reach the World Series.
The free agent will replace All-Star Scott Rolen, traded by Philadelphia to St. Louis in July.
Bell chose the Phillies over the Giants, where he played one year after 3½ seasons with the Seattle Mariners.
"It was a tough decision David had to make, because they were both good opportunities," said his agent, Tom Reich.
