DH to National League Would Benefit the Mets

Error 0:

2020 could be the last season of old school baseball as Major League Baseball is considering expanding the designated hitter rule to both leagues.

There is a growing belief amongst NL GM’s that the DH will be instituted for NL as early as 2021. FWIW.

The DH has been specific to the American League since 1973 and is used in interleague play, the World Series and the All-Star game when the AL is the home team.

How does this help the New York Mets?
