We are just over a month from the beginning of spring training, but Major League Baseball still has not decided on a universal designated hitter. This decision affects the New York Mets more than any other team in the National League due to their abundance of below-average defenders.
Especially taking into account the next few days, Dominic Smith homering on Jackie Robinson Day is poetic.

Returning the DH to the NL betters the Mets defense by default.
