According to Eric Stephen of True Blue LA, the Dodgers are saying that they still have Josh Bell under contract.
It was reported over the weekend that Bell had agreed to a deal with the LG Twins of the Korean Baseball Organization, but it's either not official yet or the Dodgers don't plan on letting him go so easily. The 27-year-old agreed to a minor league deal with Los Angeles last month.

Sat Jan 4 201420:16LG Twins of Korean league sign INF Josh Bell
The LG Twins of the Korean Baseball Organization have signed INF Josh Bell, a source tells Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net.
Bell was once one of the top prospects in baseball but was never able to have sustained success at the MLB level. The 27-year-old split 2013 between the Yankees and White Sox organizations, batting .226/.324/.356 in 52 games. He signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in December, but it seems he's elected to try his hand overseas instead.

Diamondbacks recalled INF Josh Bell from Triple-A Reno.
Bell, who was acquired from the Orioles in late April, was hitting .381/.429/.619 with four homers, 30 RBI and a 1.047 OPS in 112 plate appearances with the Aces. We aren't ready to give up on the 25-year-old completely, but he has a woeful 78/6 K/BB ratio over 226 plate appearances in the big leagues. Ryan Roberts has turned things around a bit this month, so we wouldn't bank on a ton of playing time.

Tue Apr 17 201214:15Orioles designate Josh Bell for assignment
Orioles designated 3B Josh Bell for assignment.
He was cleared to make room for the newly-claimed Luis Exposito on the Orioles' 40-man roster. Bell was considered the third baseman of the future after coming over from the Dodgers in the George Sherrill deal at the deadline in 2009, but he has a lousy .200/.221/.264 batting line and a stunningly awful 78/6 K/BB over 226 plate appearances in the majors. There isn't much hope left, but it will be interesting to see if someone takes a chance on the 25-year-old.

Tue Aug 16 201101:55Pirates sign second round pick Josh Bell
Pirates agreed to terms with second-round pick OF Josh Bell.
Regarded as one of the top high school hitters in the country, Bell slipped to the first pick of the second round due to his commitment to the University of Texas, but the Pirates were able to get a deal done for $5 million. This is a new record for a player taken outside of the first round. Quite a coup for Neal Huntington and company, considering that many teams thought he would be an impossible sign. After spending a franchise record $11.9 million on the 2010 draft, the Pirates have upped the ante to more than $17 million this year.
