When it comes to the designated hitter rule, it’s something that has a lot of work, to say the least. To say that the National League would like to this is a little bit tricky–at least that’s what Commissioner Rob Manfred revealed. The Cubs with their young bunch of outfielders would have the ability to them play at DH.
General manager Jed Hoyer declined to respond to reporters that Manfred made at the conclusion of the owners’ meetings in New York.
Formal rules?
The rule change would have to formally presented by the owners and approved by the MLB Players Association.
