Manfred announced that in agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) we will have a designated hitter for everyone in the upcoming 2022 MLB season, which is still awaiting an agreement, but where the commissioner claimed to be optimistic to start on time .
In addition, this Saturday, February 12, the MLB will make a new proposal to the players, where something positive and convincing is expected for Spring Training and Opening Day.
Summarizing Manfred’s press conference:
1.- The universal designated hitter has been approved by MLB and the Union
2.- Spring Training and opening day are not postponed, MLB will try to save the dates with a “very good proposal on Saturday” (Manfred’s words)
