Another week closer to Spring Training, and we might finally start to have some news about what the season will look like, as far as the National League is concerned.
On Monday, it was reported that the MLBPA has rejected Major League Baseball’s offer of a DH in the National League, and of continuing expanded playoffs.
The MLBPA had agreed to these terms during the 2020 season, mainly to help pitchers have more rest in an unknown season, and to have more teams have an opportunity to play longer in the shortened season. If there is no new agreement, it will revert to the old Player’s Agreement, where there would be six playoff teams and no DH in the National League.
