Yep, the owners will approve it at the last minute, then use it as a bargaining chip in the next negotiation.
If the owners approved the DH the day after the 2020 world series, then they couldn't posture that the DH is something debatable.
I'm not defending the owners, I Agree with your take.

This is very bad news for the RedsMLB offered a universal DH if the union agreed to expanded playoffs. Union rebuffed the deal, which included extra money for players, so at least for now there will be no universal DH.
What would you say.....ya do here?

I am moreso thinking about the Reds have 4 DHs playing defense. I kinda think they should move Moose or Suarez now.

I liked the DH, hated the expanded playoffs though.
Glad the union did not agree.

This isn't failed DH negotiations. The MLB could institute that right now and the MLBPA wouldn't care. The problem is Manfred is attaching it to expanded playoffs where the players wouldn't get their normal share of revenues.
