MLB 2020 Preview: Washington Nationals on the DH in the NL in 2020...

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.
