Dodgers: The Universal DH Helps Everyone; Especially the Dodgers
Prior to the 1973 season, the American League implemented the designated hitter. Forty-six years later the National league may follow suit. Ken Rosenthal of “The Athletic” reported that the MLB might input a universal DH. If this comes to fruition, the Dodgers could be one of the teams that benefit the most from it.
Even after trading away two all-star outfielders, the Dodgers still have many (maybe too many) players that have made the case to be everyday starters. Despite this, some of these players will not be getting consistent at-bats.
