We’ve quoted GM Mike Rizzo in numerous articles discussing the possibility of bringing the Designated Hitter to the National League. And while he might understand and agree with a DH in the NL in this shortened, 60-game MLB season, Rizzo is on record from 2015 when he told 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Grant Paulsen “I hate the DH. I always have hated the DH. I’d hate to see the DH in the National League.”
But there’s going to be a DH in the NL in 2020, so I guess we’ll all have to get used to it for the next 2-3 months at least, and just about everyone believes it will be added to the NL in the next collective bargaining agreement.
