While there’s still no official agreement on a return to play plan between Major League Baseball and the players union, at least for now, both sides appear to be on board with adding a designated hitter to the National League over the next two seasons.
With the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire after the 2021 campaign, there’s a very good chance these two sides will agree to implement a DH in both leagues for the foreseeable future.
For the New York Mets, their team will undoubtedly benefit from adding another slugger to their lineup in 2020.
