[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1440549, member: 29"] Per what the commissioner has said in the recent past, DH won’t be coming to the NL next bargaining session. Things could change of course, but I’m not holding out hope for that change. Quote below was from a November 2018 article. [SIZE=14px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=rgb(34, 34, 34)]“I think since I became involved, and this may give too much credit to my deal-making ability, I could have made a deal with the MLPBA on extending the DH to the National League,” Manfred said. “I think that’s been a pretty consistent position of the players since 1987, so I don’t think there’s a real headline there. The most likely outcome at this point would be the status quo.”[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=rgb(34, 34, 34)]Manfred cited the NL fans’ love for how the game is currently played as a primary reason that he doesn’t want to see the rule changed.
